For some reason today, the little arrow icon which does "goto next unread" in a thread isn't appearing for me in the normal forums. If I select "View New Posts" from the top of the screen and look on that list, it is there, though. I just don't get it if I go to the forums directly (even though the circles are dark blue beside the posts). Is there a setting somewhere I changed? I really like the feature, so I want to turn it back on.

Uhm, I thought it was aestehically unpleasant and seldom used. Is there wide support for me to putting it back in?

I agree that it's not the prettiest thing in the world, but once I figured out what it was, I fell into using it constantly. I might be the only one, though.

Maybe just changing the icon will work. Let me see what I can do...

BTW, did I say how much I love the FAST REPLY button?

What exactly is the difference with the Fast Reply feature?

It uses javascript to open the Reply box directly below the original thread. There are a few javascript based menus and expansions in this forum software - kind of unconventional and a little confusing for some people, I think, but also kind of cool.

I personally love the fast reply feature. It might be confusing before you've used it, but I think anyone that clicks on it once shouldn't have any trouble figuring out how it works.

That's cool. Thanks for the info.

Wow, fast reply is neat. And thanks for putting back the "goto last unread" button. The ideal thing to do would be to integrate the function into the existing blue circles on the left side of the listings so you could just click on that. But that'd probably be a headache.

As much as I love the "goto last unread" button, I've noticed that it's less than useful in some poll threads. Is there anyway to keep it from appearing if the only addition to a thread was a poll vote?
