Quick Links (?) to First Unread

[DwarvenFood]

DU,

Maybe it's a good idea to make that cool quick link window (don't really know how to call it, it's on the front page on the right, you select latest threads from different categories) change it's behaviour a little -

Right now it will take you to the forst post of the thread that you click on. While using the Codex without front page I have gotten used to opening threads straight to the "First Unread" post. IMO It would be cool if the quick link window would link straight to the first unread, instead of first post.

I am aware of the fact that there is a "Go to first unread post" on top of each thread but this change would save me one extra click and we at the Codex are masters of laziness.

Thanks for changing it, DU, you are really on the game here since the main page has been up.

Was just a simple matter of adding 'unread' to the end of the url string.

Been toying with changing the icon link to go directly to the first post now. Given going to the last post isn't really needed with the whole unread thing?

 

[DwarvenFood]

Yeah but seeing the lack of interest, I wonder how many people even use those links. Change the little icon to first post, sure.

I just call the quick link box the fingers. Can we have the little icon go to first unread and the text go to the first post? That's how it used to work. It's annoying now, because there are threads I know I haven't looked at, but there's no way to go to the first post from the fingers. So inevitably I end up at the last post, or the first of whatever post the system considers new.
