the first post of a thread that I had not read
Unless you use an ad blocker and/or cookie blocker, when ever you click on the Title of a thread you have never read, it should take you to the first post in the thread. I'll do a bit of checking, but that's how it is supposed to work. For example, I clicked on the Title of a thread I had not read yet. It took me to the first post in the thread.
It also showed that I hadn't seen the posts and it gave me an option to "Jump to New"est post.
I'll be looking around and if I see that this isn't the "standard" behavior I'll come back and further clarify.
Let me know if this is what your are asking.
