Go to first unread post in a thread?
on: February 21, 2009, 09:12:13 PM
Is there some setting or link that lets you go to the first unread post in a thread?

I know with vbulliten based forums there is a View First Unread link at the top of the thread.

Is there a simular thing with SMF?

P.S.  I wonder if the folks that wrote the forum software are Twisted Sister fans.....

If there is I haven't found it yet. :(  Seems like it would be a handy feature though.

:tu: I've been trying to work out a way to automate the process for me, i know its possible (using one of the various scripting extensions for FF) but i've not had time to figure out the various programming techniques for one of them :-\

My forum reading technique:
Unread Posts > Open each "new" button in a new tab > settle back with fingers on CTRL+F4 > read all the crap Ben and Mike post :D

It's only taken me 7 months but I have the technology!!! Using this https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/11759 Firefox extension and setting it up to ctrl click on every new post button on the page with just one keyboard shortcut 8) Being this lazy takes a lot of effort you know! :D
