From the main Board Index, I use the little yellow page icon as shown below

to jump directly to that first new post in the thread.
This works perfectly for most threads.
However, if the thread contains multiple images, I am usually positioned at a higher point in the thread rather than at the first new post.
Is it a 'feature' or is it my browser acting up?
Just curious... no big deal, just wondering.

I believe it's for the first unread post from a thread.

'new' / 'unread' that's what I mean, but it does seem to work accurately when the thread contains large images...

If I want to refer a post to you, I click that icon, and it will take you right to that particular post in the thread instead of you having to look all through it.

I never even knew you could click that icon to go to the first unread post! That is awesome…but I guess you will have to wait for Tux to answer why it doesn't work just right when a lot of images are involved.

@2-ton. If you go to a thread and there is a certain post there you want to refer to, then click that little icon and it will change the address bar to that particular post, then you can send that link and it will open up to that post in the thread.

You're not alone I didn't know about it either.

Interesting responses so far...

May I ask those who did know about this icon's use, care to share the method they use to find the new/unread posts since their last visit without having to re-read all posts in a particular topic/thread.

I just went to the very left of the index and went to the messages that had the green check mark on them...clicked on the last page number and went by dates on the posts. I almost always read the forum every day, so it's easy to scroll to the first post of the day in any unread thread. But the icon is even easier! I love it.

Pretty much the same.
