Is there any way, when you open a thread, to create a button or function that would take you to the first unread post, or if not that, then at least to the last post in the thread?
Now, in order to get to the last post you read, or the end of the thread you have to scroll down through stuff you've already read each time you check the topic/thread.

I've just discovered me own answer! If I click on the "new" button by each thread, it does exactly what I wanted. I was initally thinking that meant there was something "new" posted there, but that is exactly what I was looking for. Now, how can I tell if someone has posted something in a thread since the last time I looked at it?

You can find out amazing things if you just bash about enough. Noticed that once I'd clicked on the "new" button, and read the new posts, if I left that forum and came back, or refreshed it, the "new" button was gone (appears to mean that there is nothing new in that thread for me to read). This is starting to make sense (and that's just a bit scary!

You can find out amazing things if you just bash about enough. Yup, that strategy tends to work for me too. Welcome to the Gremlin School of Education. This is starting to make sense (and that's just a bit scary! I'll find some way of chucking the proverbial spanner in the works, just you wait and see.

When on the home page, any forum with unread posts will show up as a folder with a red dot. If you click on that forum, any new posts will show up with a "New" icon. Alternatively, on the home page, on the far right hand side of the forum list it will show you the last post in that forum. If you click that you'll be taken to it. If you do it that way, be careful you don't miss any other new posts in that forum by clicking back straight to the hompage as I keep doing. The forum still shows up as unread if you do this.
