Improved Layout

[Thom]

I visit a lot of threads. I obviously read and follow every thread in the area that I am focused on.

Every thread has a button in the main index to Go to Last Post. I never use it.

I always select the thread and then select View First Unread. It is always fairly easy to find unless there is a poll at the front of the thread.

My guess is that I am not the only one who is doing this.

Here's the idea ... change the button on the main index from "Go to Last Post" to "View First Unread".

I bet it will make a lot of people happy (happier at least).

The arrow next to the last person that posted that points to the right goes to the last post. There is an arrow that points down to the left of the thread title that takes you to the first unread post in the thread. You have the option of both.

This. I'm embarrassed to say how long it took me to realize that lol. At least i'm not the only one.

Don't worry Gmash, I was a senior member before I figured it out too.

Yep, took me a good while to find out about it too.

Yes ... that was what I was trying to say,

Let's try it this way ...

For EVERY thread I visit I have to click to open it and then click to position to the first unread message.

Instead I would like to ...

Click on an icon on the main index to take me to the first unread message.

If you actually need both options ... swap them.

That little downwards arrow is on the main index too Highlighted in red:

Yep, I never click on a thread title unless its new, just click on the arrow to go to the last unread post.
