When clicking the "unread posts since last visit" link, it lists each thread that has been updated accordingly. This is good.

However, the links always direct to the OP rather than the last unread post within the thread, meaning that you then have to find the unread posts manually.

This is not so much an issue for people that log in every day or even a few times a week, but it does start to become more inconvenient to use this feature after extended breaks from the forum, say of more than about 4-5 days.

If there's a way for these links to direct to the first unread post in each updated thread (i.e. anything posted after the user last interacted with the site), that would definitely be an improvement of the feature.

It works exactly the same way as a board's topic list in general. This means - if you click the title itself, you go to the start of the topic; if you click a page number, you go to that page; if you click the "New" icon next to the title, you go to the first unread post.

The last one sounds like what you're after. :)
