I tend to browse by clicking on the forums with unread articles, and then finding the ones I haven't read. However, currently there doesn't seem to be a way to go the first unread post in a thread from the thread list for a particular forum.

I‌s this planned?

To answer my own question, if you hover over the thread title, there is a 'first unread post' button. Not exactly intuitive. How about clicking on the envelope to the left of the thread title (that shows there are new posts) to take you to the first unread post?

Thank you both so much. I wanted acknowledge we are looking into these issues. We've updated our own demo site today to resolve several other issues reported by users helping test. Once we've identified / resolved the read tracking issues reported by Mike and Tony and addressed the suggestion from Andy we'll update the SkyDemon private sandbox site and confirm here to seek further feedback.
‌
A‌ndy ‌I think the envelope suggestion is a great idea. I'll ensure we add a more intuitive way to jump the first unread post. I'd be interested to learn how you feel this should work. For example...
‌
1. Should we always display the icon? I‌f you've already read the topic clicking the envelope icon would take you to the first unread post. If you've never read the topic clicking the envelope would take you to the very last post?

2‌. ‌Or would you prefer to only show the envelope icon for topics you've already read that have new replies allowing you to jump to the newest reply since you last read the topic?

I‌ prefer the second option as we already have links within the last post column that allow you to jump to the last post. The second option would also allow you to easily identify topics you've already read that have new replies since you last read the topic. ‌Would you have a preference or any other opinions?
‌
T‌ony I'll look at why the unread tab is not showing results for you and will respond here ASAP. ‌This may be the same permission settings that affected Mike's account. I'm still awaiting a response from Mike to learn more on the issues he reported as I can't reproduce even whilst logged in with Mike's account as shown in my screen grabs earlier in this topic. 

I‌'ll respond further here very soon once we have an update to share. Thank you Tony and Andy for taking the time to help us improve InstantForum - I sincerely appreicate your time helping us test and will ensure this is not wasted. 

Kindest R‌egatds,
