I've noticed that when you use this option, there is no link "skip to first unread post". This would be really helpful. :-)

It demonstrates an effort made to be understood, and to make your post an easy and pleasant read. By making this effort, you can often elicit more positive responses from the community, and instantly mark yourself as someone worth talking to.

I actually added that functionality 4 hours before you posted that message having noticed the same problem. I've not put the changes live yet but probably will do so this weekend at some point
