Have you tried Active Topics?
I use that - where there are untitled new posts on a thread, it only shows the thread title from the most recent activity.
Then clicking for 'First Unread Post' takes you into the thread. Where there are multiple posts since you last read that thread, you're delivered to the first post after you last read it.
You don't have to go to the top of a thread and then click on '
First Unread Post' if you're wanting to move to the first new post since you last looked at an existing thread.
No matter which thread-list you're looking at, you'll notice different colour circular icons to the left of them, similar to the snapshot below -
The lower icon colour means that you've read all the current posts in that thread, and so you're not able to click the icon itself, and can only enter the thread by clicking on the thread-title, which will then open the thread at the very first post.
The upper icon, however, is coloured RED, and that means that there's posts on that thread that you've not read - either because it's a brand new thread, or because there's been new posts made on it since you last looked at it.
With RED icons, you
can click on the icon itself, and it'll take you straight into the thread,
directly to the first post on it that you've not read, so using that process instead of the '
First Unread Post' process you've mentioned earlier will hopefully save you a little time, if that's what you're wanting to do from a particular thread list.
If you're using a mouse-based browser, then hovering over a red icon similar to the above (but on a thread list - not the snapshot in this post...) should bring up a tool-tip window that says '
Unread Posts', which gives a hint as to the usefulness of that particular option.
