"First unread post" button missing

[Meneldour]

Hey there,  I'll try to keep the post brief.

When having a thread open, there usually is (other phpbb forums) a button that moves you to the first unread post in said thread, is there a way to put it here? It's very useful when you are actively monitoring a thread with more than a few pages.

Hopefully this is enough of a description, if not, don't hestiate to ask.

(although this might not be an issue rather than a suggestion, I decided to put it into this subforum, since it's forum related)

I've noticed the lack of this feature, but I'm not aware of any settings that would let me change that. Then again, I could just be missing it...SMF is just chock full of options, and I'm always stumbling over new checkboxes somewhere.

If anyone more familiar with SMF knows of a setting that would enable this behavior, please do tell! Otherwise, this might be an issue for the forum software developers...

From a brief google, it looks like there is a "New" button that is supposed to provide this function... not entirely sure where to enable it, but I hope this points you in the right direction.

Is this what you're looking for? Then again, it was one of the first links google gave me...

(bear in mind that the only thing I know about the webdesign and its coding is the marquee tag )

Wait, don't tell me the glowing orange button is the thing we're looking for!

EDIT: Yes, it is... Well then, thanks for checking it out, I believe the topic can be locked now.

Huh. I...never knew that was a button. Well.

Thanks for digging that up.

I hate it when a feature's already provided and no one knows how to use it because of a poor UI.  This is why everyone just pirates Vbulletin.

Is it possible to add a "quick reply" option so you can type up a post in a thread without clicking a reply button and bringing up the full editor?

Aww, shucks.

I also wondered how to view the last post of a thread and I only just found it out by clicking "New"...

Sweet to have it. One thing though, when quoting someone the quote now goes in the quick-reply area instead of the general reply area.
