Better way to differentiate unread/read posts

I think the “unread posts” system is really improvable. It’s a bit confused because of a major issue (according to me) : when a member chooses to view a topic where there are unread posts, he is redirected to the last post, not to the first unread post (even if there are 20 or 30 unread posts oO ). This is even more confused as there is no way to know which are unread posts (no flag or different color).

Something like the admin bar should be for all members. Or, at least, a flag beside unread posts would be great (like the topics on the forum view).

Like the notion of marking the posts. have opened a ticket to consider that.

Sorry to bother you again, but my users are complaining about the same issue.

Is it possible to apply the admin bar behavior regarding the last unread post functionality to users for the “Last post” Buttons in any way, perhaps by modifying sf-support.php?

No it is not possible.

But the 'Most Recent Topics with Unread Posts' icon on the breadcrumbs strip does more or less the same thing – just not with a special 'bar'.
