This may not be the correct area for posting this question, but I was not able to find anything that was a better match.

My question is fairly basic. I participate on several other forums, and there is usually a way to jump, within a specific post, to the next “unread” comment. This reduces the amount of time that it takes to review a topic, especially when there have been a lot of comments. Is there a way to do that on this venue? While it isn’t too much of an issue currently, I can see it becoming more needed as the forum continues to grow.

Help would be appreciated. Thanks

If the thread has more than one post you'll see a small blue arrow next to the thread's title. If you click on this blue arrow (instead of the thread title) it will go to the first unread post.



I've also found even when I do click on the thread title that the screen automatically scrolls (sometimes!) down to the first unread.

Hang in there--using this newer version of vBulletin takes some adjustment. (You're not alone!)

Thanks. I’ve followed you on the “other” form for quite some time. Over there, I’m “Richter”.

Great question and answer. Arrow works great!
