First unread post

That’s what the symbol next to the title is for – if you really need it. But why do you need it? If you set your feeds to show individual posts, a click on that individual posts should open the individual post – anything else would be confusing. If you create custom feeds, which only show topics (not posts) for example, there is a setting you can activate to jump to the first unread in the settings for the specific feed.

Some boards have lots of new posts in lots of threads, and the thread view gives a better bigger picture.

If you make custom activity feed just showing topics, you can link the title to the first unread post, as already mentioned.

That dot is just the worst thing about the UI. It's where a regular user will need to go to the most but it's tiny, not mobile-friendly and clickable in places but not in others and visible in places but not in others. I wish the devs would give that a good rethink.

We always customize our skins to make clicking thread titles take you to the first unread post. However, we experienced an issue with 4.2 to 4.3 and may need to retool our customizations. I actually came here looking for advice on applying these changes strictly via custom.css, but it would be extremely useful if IPS supplied this either as the default behavior (as they did on the separate mobile skin on version 3.x) or at least provide a toggle.

Clicking the star/circle is barely tolerable on desktop, and essentially useless via mobile devices.
