I use the 'Show unread posts since last visit' link to read all of the new posts on the forum, but I can't find a 'Go to first new post' button or link for each thread. There is a Last Post button but that takes me to the last post in the thread, not the first unread post in the thread. Is there a way of navigating to the first new unread post in a thread?  #$#

I'll look into this as soon as I get a chance.


Have you had a chance to look at this Creech? I haven't been on the forum for a few days and there are 2 pages of New Posts to go through, it would definitely be easier to just go straight to the first unread post in each thread rather than having to scroll through each thread to find the unread posts.

There is an issue with updating to the latest version of the forum software, Matthew. We are hoping the problem will be fixed with that update.

Again - Sorry for the inconvenience..

Thanks for letting me know Nino, and no need to apologise, you are constrained by the forum software. I thought it might just have been a setting somewhere, I'll just make sure that I check the forum more regularly than I already am  %$%

Tony / Nino,

Did you manage to update the forum software to the latest version? If so, it does not appear to have resolved this issue. I still have to scroll through each thread to find the new posts, perhaps it is only a problem for me?  !@#

Tony did the update a while ago and most users with the problem reported that they now had PAGES of unread threads.

I can't find the thread - But Tony should chime in with the "tech" answer.

Sorry Nino, that is a different issue to the one I am referring to. I was hoping there was a forum mod that would allow me to navigate to the first Unread post in a thread, currently I have to open the thread and scroll through all of the posts until I find the ones that I have not yet read. Being able to just click on a button and navigate directly to the first unread post in the thread would make life much easier.

Sorry Matt - I'm "easily" confused this morning  *!@

Hopefully Tony has some news or you.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but if you click on the little blue "new" icon in the title of the thread it takes you to last unread post.
