Is there a way to jump to the first unread post in a thread, so you don't have to scroll past all the replies you've already read? Some boards have this set automatically--is there a way to enable that functionality here?

Yes, there is a little icon in front of the thread. Move your mouse over it and it says, go to first unread post, or something like that. When you click on it, it jumps right to it.

Unfortunately, there used to be an additional "go to first unread post" link at the top of a thread but I think it went away after an upgrade to the board software.
Although I usually use the button Iceman mentioned, once in a while I wish the old link was still there.
Maybe Lomag can toggle that back on?

I never used the other link, since it didn't worked correctly. Post that were still new and unread got marked read sometimes, and you didn't knew what you read allready and what you still had to read. So I don't really miss it... But maybe that's the reason they don't have it anymore in this software release. And if that's the reason for its disappearence, I bet they are working on it to, bring it back.

I would think that the link would be the same. If they have a button for going to the first unread post (which works for me unless there are a bunch of images loading -- in that case, it takes you to the first unread but then scrolls you back as the images load), then they could give you a second appearance of that link inside the thread I would imagine...
