I thought I would clear up some of the confusion over this issue now that I have found out the reason why this is happening and the explanation is actually quite sensible now I see what they have done.
Most times when you click on a topic post title it will take you directly to that post, that is expected behaviour. However, in the case when you are viewing a forum and clicking on a topic title, it takes you to the first one and not to the last as we have become accustomed too and there is a reason for this now.
As you can see from the image below, there is a blue icon (dot or star) to indicate that there is a new post in this topic or a grey icon and this indicates that there are no new posts since your last visit.
Now, to get the latest post in this topic, click on the blue (dot or star) and this will take you directly to the latest post in this thread.
The reason behind this as they put it is 'consistency'. Clicking on the topic title should take you to the first post in that thread and the blue icon will take you to the first unread post.
I believe that in a future update they will allow admins to change the behaviour of this, but until then this is the best option without me modifying the base code.

Hi Everyone,
I thought I would clear up some of the confusion over this issue now that I have found out the reason why this is happening and the explanation is actually quite sensible now I see what they have done.
