I've seen on other sites (based on phpBB) a button that takes you to the first post unread BY YOU in a thread.

Lets say I read 5 posts and 2 new ones are added, I click the button next time I visit the site and it takes me to the 6th post.

Maybe this is here already and I've missed it but if not, it's be invaluable on a 8 page thread!!!

The Fiat Coupe forum has this facility and I find it really helpful as it does mean you can have a quick look at the forum and only select one or two of the forum areas to look at and the others remain as showing all the threads you haven't looked at.

Would save me having to always read all the new topics when I visit the site which reduces my productivity at work!!

Good suggestion, and probably not too difficult to implement. Not promising when I'll have a chance to look at it though as I'm snowed with business stuff at the moment.

Any PHP guru's out there want to give it a go?
