Add icon/link to first unread post in threads
Just like the little “page” thingy in phpbb.
So this icon only appears if a thread that you visited in the past has new posts?
You don’t have to have visited the thread. Just a thread that has new posts since your last visit to the site. Then, when you click on it, it takes you to the new post (which isn’t necessarily the last one).
this would be very useful. in phpbb it’s also possible to select “view new posts” which lists all topics with unread posts in them.
the last seen status is tracked on the user account page. This tracking status should make this able to work.
There could be a new option under Filter called “Only topics with new posts since last visit” (It’s actually rather long, but something like that)
This would filter the selected category, tag and / or in progress topics that have new responses. Perhaps also new comments.
I believe the function on phpbb also takes some margins until the posts are discarded as new when you visit the “view new posts” page. You can visit that page more than once and still see all topics that have had new posts since your last visit.
Even if you've read those new posts during the current session. You can even close the browser and go back into the page another 30 minutes later and still see that same list of topics.
Only if several hours have passed the posts are no longer regarded as new. Basically the system assumes you've read them.
I hope this makes sense, but it is very useful that way.
I see a latest post button has now been implemented on the tracker, which is good news indeed! However, there’s an adjustment that I think will improve things and bring it more in line with this feature request.
Rather than a “Latest post” button, it really needs to be a “View first unread post” button. If there are three new posts in a topic and I click the button as it is now, I'm taken to the last of the three, then need to scroll up to read the two I've missed. If the tracker can keep track of which posts are new to me, then it would be more convenient to take me to the first of the three new posts.
