Thread links pointing to the first unread / last comment

I don't know the internals of this forum engine so I ignore whether this is technically possible; and even if it is, maybe others disagree with it.

But I'd personally prefer it if the forum links that appear on these three pages pointed to the last comment on a forum thread, instead of pointing to the first one. Or better yet, to the first unread comment.

Once inside a thread, I don't mind that much, but on those initial pages is just... a bit annoying, always having to look for the tiny 'page 9' (for example) link.

Alternatively, a link next to the title saying (3 unreads) would be enough.

I always go to this page http://love2d.org/forums/search.php?sea ... ive_topics
And then if you click the orange box that appears on the left, it goes to the first unread post.

Yeah. I love that feature. It works even if you visit and leave but don't read it all. It remembers the topics you read instead of when you visited. Something I wish EVERY forum had. It's an amazing feature.
