"New" Posts Aren't 'Always Marked for Me on Second and Subsequent Pages of a Thread

I mean the red star marking a new post. Its makes things trickier the longer the thread. So far I haven't seem this problem on first pages.
I'm using Firefox 1.5, but I've seen this dating from the beginning of this site with the earliest versions of Firefox.
Could be this is just my problem, but I thought I would bring it up to see if anyone else has also run into it.

It's there for me too. Apparently their "new post" logic doesn't take into account multiple pages. If it's on the 2nd or later pages, you don't get pointed to the new one.

Yes, but that could be sped up using the comment option selections. It will allow flat or threaded viewing and newest or oldest first. Exploring these options along with the 90 comments/page seems to make it quicker for me at least.
