    Hey, would it be possible to change (or make configurable) the action performed when clicking on a thread name?

    I reckon it would be more useful if this also brought you to the first unread post. Especially when using it on a mobile device, that little icon can be a bugger to click.

    Cheers.

    On the touch site clicking the title brings you to the first unread post.

    On the full site, there is a little blue button to the left of the thread title, that looks like this: firstnew.gif

    If you clicked on it, it'll take you to the first unread post.

    The only time they don't work is when you haven't been active in or read a thread for a very long time, seems to load from posts that happened more recently. Not too sure by how much. I tend to see it loading posts within a week.

    sorry only spotted this reply now

    I mainly use the full site on my phone, not a fan of touch (not great for modding)

    the firstnew image is very hard to hit on a phone.
    I also dont see the point in the thread title taking you to the first post...how often would people actually want to do that?

    Hi GreeBo, there are currently no plans to alter the functionality of the thread links in the forum views any time soon.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
