Automatically "go to first new post" when clicking on threads

Sad Professor

Not sure if this has ever been suggested before, but I've always thought that "go to first new post" should be the default behaviour when clicking on links to threads in your User CP or subscribed thread list. This is how it works on the touch site, but on the main site you have to click on the little arrow icon (this guy: ), which probably isn't very obvious to new users.

There might be an argument for Forum view retaining the current behaviour, but I think it's fair to say anyone following threads via the User CP is only interested in the first new post.

And (the real reason I'm suggesting this) it would prevent a lot of misclicks when browsing the site on an iPad.

Thanks for the suggestion. It certainly makes sense for links from followed threads in the user CP. That ugly little arrow will also be getting the chop pretty soon, to be replaced by something clearer.
