[REQUEST] Automatically skip to the page with unread commend on thread load

[justusranvier]

I always use the "all" link to open threads long-running threads with new posts because I can't memorize the last page number of every thread I've read to know exactly which page I should start at. Then I have to scroll until I find the last post I remember reading and go from there.

Since the database already knows what the last post I saw was, why can't it automatically load the correct page when I click on the topic link, and as a bonus, scroll to the newest comment via an anchor?

Why don't you just use the "new" button?

The "new" button is great, but it should also be somewhere on the thread's page so you don't have to go back to the list of threads if you forget to click "new".

Ah. That would be nice.

Didn't know it exited until you mentioned it and I started clicking on random things. On my screen that little unlabeled icon is far to the right where it's hard to keep track of which thread corresponds to which icon.

No, not that one. There is another one in blue right smack dab in the middle of the screen behind each thread title.

Looks like this:

I never realized those icons were hyperlinks.

I think there's a Fitts's law violation somewhere in here.
