Could you make "Go to first unread" go to the last post instead of the first one when it's already been viewed?

I believe they already have a button with the same function. It's the piece of paper with the arrow pointing next to it in the "last post" column.

That's not what i said.

Oh I know what he means...

Right now when you click the first unread, it takes you to the first unread. If you then click the back button the first unread is still there, BUT if you click it, it registers that you've already read it, and takes you to the OP of the thread, instead of the most recent post...

**Testify**

Yeah. I guess 99% of the time if you click First Unread by accident you'd rather go to the last post than the first.

While thats true, you could just refresh whichever Forum/List you are in to make the 'First Unread' button disappear (if there are no new posts of course), thereby stopping you making that mistake...?

**Testify**

Yes. Yes I could.

Awww i meant to put a smiley on the end of my post to signify it was tongue-in-cheek....damn.

Glad you picked up on that anyway!

No worries
