    Not sure if this forum software offers this feature, but one of my favorite things about SMF is the ability to link to the first unread post in a thread from the list of threads. They do this via a little "new" icon next to the title of any thread that has unread posts since you last viewed it (or if you haven't viewed it).

    I realize this is a total "first world problem" but the way it is now (as best I can tell) there's a bit of navigational excise as you need to click into the thread, then click the "Go to First Unread" button.

    Thanks for your consideration of this suggestion, and generally speaking a big fan of the new forums.

    P.S. What forum software is this? I'd be happy to look into the availability of a plugin for this or roll one up for you if possible.

    Thanks to somewhat fat thumbs and being on an iPad I just discovered that the little blue dot to the left of the thread title does exactly what I described. Never even thought to click it.

    And so now I'll grovel to make that thing a little larger so it's easier to click / tap on, and perhaps turn it into a little "new" icon so that more people may notice it and discover the joys of jumping immediately to the latest unread post.

    Feel free to delete this or lock it up or whatever.
