View First unread message

[cambridgehank]

I am using several other forums and many of them have a link to view the first unread message in a thread.  Is that possible here?  Some of the threads I am following have multiple pages and it is difficult to find the first unread message.

Yes, this is possible. It's possible to go to several different spots depending on where one clicks.

 

Here is where you click to go to first unread post.

I was thinking about in the thread.  For example, I get a notification that Kirk has mad a comment in a thread.  The notification takes me to his comment.  There could be hundreds of pages, maybe a link to my first unread comment.

I have this same question as well. With the topics I follow on Head-fi, I can append /unread to a thread's URL to jump to new posts. Is there something similar on AS?

If you click on a link to a comment you'll go to that comment.

If you click on the dot you'll go to your first unread comment.

If you set up your preferences to always take you to your first unread comment then any click on the thread title (not a comment link) will take you to your first unread comment.

I have a bookmark for the "Followed Topics" page. Threads with new posts are bolded, so I know to click on them. There are no dots on this page, and no latest comments, so no obvious way to jump to the new post. I think I'm missing something.

And in my preferences, I do have "Take me to comments I haven't read" checked, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Links from the Followed Topics page always take you to the first comment.
