How to go to the first unread post in a thread?

depasseg · 06-25-2014, 09:18 PM

On some forums, when returning to a thread with new posts, it takes me to the spot in the thread where the posts are unread. Is there anyway to do that here? We get some long threads, and I seem to constantly be searching for my starting point when I see that there is a new post in a thread.

Thanks,
Greg

I have set my options to read in reverse, doesn't take much scrolling to find the last unread post in a thread

On the index next to the thread title there is a small box with a down arrow in it. Click that and you will be taken to the last unread post in the thread. It's siberspace magic.

Thanks for the tip. I never noticed that little triangle. Works like magic, as you say. :-)
