That tiny First Unread Post icon

[Tor]

I still can't find the text 'View First Unread' anywhere..

Ironically, for me, it's sitting just above your post. Go to a thread where you know you've got unread posts, and look at the black menu bar just above the posts.

Aha! Thanks Garry.
So you'll first have to hit the thread title, and then there's the View First Unread selection for that thread. I prefer to be able to use the icon to go directly to the first unread post, but it's great to know that there's a way to get there when missing the icon for the thread title.
Now there's just one remaining problem.. some of the time I hit the name of the poster instead of either (it's also too close to the icon when on a tablet)

Yep, that one gets me, too. On all the forums I go to on the T100.

Anyone using the thread tools​ option to subscribe to a thread? Give that a try...

I just wanted to briefly resurrect this thread to say that after a couple of weeks using a Colt stylus, I haven't even needed to zoom the screen to hit the First Unread Post icon. It took a bit of practice but since I read a lot more than I type it's no problem to keep the stylus in my hand most of the time. And it comes with a small lanyard with a small plastic post at the end that fits nicely into the earphone socket - great for right-handed people like me, not so good for lefties.

I don't have anything to do with Colt (don't even know if it's a brand or a model name); I'm just an old guy with arthritis grateful to have gotten a problem solved, and thinking that it might help others.
