Is there a way to go to the first unread post on a thread? - TKDmom - 08-29-2012
When I come back to read new replies on a thread that I have previously read, is there any way to just go directly to the first unread post? I have been scrolling down to figure out which posts I've already read, but it would be so much more convenient to have a button at the top of the thread that says "view first unread" or something like that.

The little green arrow does that for you. Just click on it.

Thank you!
This only shows up next to the title of thread right? No wonder i couldnt find it. I had been looking for a button at the top of the thread after I opened it.

Just an FYI, I (and some others, too) have been having issues where the green arrow takes you to the most recent post in a thread instead of the first unread post. I keep having to scroll back to read all the posts I've missed. Is this a known issue, or is it just a glitch some of us are having?

I hadn't heard of that. Who else is having this problem? What browser?

Brandy Vencel mentioned in a recent thread that she missed my post (and a few others) because the green arrow took her to the end of the thread instead of to the first unread post. I don't know if anyone else is having issues, but I've noticed it happening to me enough recently that I now automatically scroll up just to make sure I haven't missed anything.
I'm using chrome. I can't remember seeing if the forums are supposed to work best on IE or Firefox or whatever, but I know that chrome is usually not as well supported as other browsers. If it's just a chrome issue, I can just live with it.

I've had it happen only occasionally on Firefox. 99% of the time, no problem for me though.

Green arrow! Brilliant...

I use Chrome, too.
This week is really crazy for me, but I'll try to dig into this next week and see if I can figure out what is going on.

I'm using Firefox and the green button sends me to 'Post a New Reply,' with a 'Thread Review (Newest First)' underneath it.
