Danny, Admin & Founder, The Older we get, the Harder it is to select the "Go to first unread message" Button at the left of the Threads. Can you make them a little Bigger ??? Thanks.
I'm pretty sure (or at least it is my experience) that clicking the title of a thread that has new posts will also take you to the first unread post in the thread. Clicking the title of a thread that has no new posts will take you to the first post in the thread.
First: I think Stacey's got it. I tested this just now and was able to go straight to the first unread simply by clicking the title. Second: I almost always view the forum via the "What's New?" link in which there are new posts in every thread. The blue dot is most important when viewing individual forums and you want to know at a glance which threads have new messages. Third: I moved this thread into the Website Questions forum.
