OK, for those of you who want to jump to the first unread post...

In a section (like Pre-HOF Groups) there are a list of subjects.

Some of those subjects will have a "New" button next to the subject name, ex:

Pre-HOF November 2018 Group New

That "New" image not only tells you that there are new messages under that subject, it is actually a link that will jump you to your first unread message in the subject if you click on it.

I am looking to see if there is some way to specify as a target in the URL (for people who want to bookmark links so that they always jump to whatever is new).

This is weird enough that it took me a couple of iterations to realize what I was seeing.

The following is an example of the a URL that links to the last read post in a topic:

        http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?topic=58.msg847#new

The number '58' there is the topic number.  No matter what topic number you're talking about, appending ".msg847#new" to the topic number will take you to the first unread post in the topic.

For example - the URL to come to the first post in this topic is:

        http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?topic=25.0

If you change the ".0" at the end of the URL to ".msg847#new", ex:

        http://forum.killthecan.org/index.php?topic=25.msg847#new

... you will have a URL that you can bookmark, and which will always take you to the first unread post in this topic.

this is awesome been trying to figure this out too
man i just thot that 'new' thing meant there were new posts in the thred. i will hafta check it out.
