Going to the First Unread Comment

[iacas]

In Streams, and most everywhere on the site, there are two ways to click through into topics.

Just about everywhere, clicking the star or circle next to the title takes you to the first unread comment in the topic:

Click those stars or circles anywhere, and you will get to the first unread comment.

For those of you who use a default "stream" - the one you get when you click "New Content" and which has the URL: https://thesandtrap.com/discover/unread/, I've changed the setting:

So now, clicking even the TITLE of the topic takes you to the first new comment. If you're using a different stream, you can change the setting for your stream here:

It's the one at the bottom.

Unfortunately, there's no way to change this setting site-wide, for example, on this page:

https://thesandtrap.com/forums/forum/6-golf-talk/

Clicking the title there takes you to page one of the topic (but again, the star or circle take you to the first unread comment). This makes sense because, while we can control streams, on a forum listing, not having a way to go to the OP from the listing would be awkward.

---

Key Points:

• Clicking the star or circle always takes you to the first unread comment.
• I've set the entire title to take you to the first unread comment in the default stream "New Content."
• If you've set up your own streams, you can change the default behavior in the manner shown above.

Thanks for sharing this.

Honestly I had never even clicked on the activity tab or viewed the site in that streaming way before. I typically just look at the 5 most recent threads that appears at the bottom of each thread and click through the different forum categories that are of interest to me.

I highly recommend people make a stream like this their "home page" for visiting the site:

https://thesandtrap.com/discover/ or https://thesandtrap.com/discover/unread/ or create their own stream.

Best one: https://thesandtrap.com/discover/unread/. But i like to see the home page first to see the hot topics, then yes go to my stream page.
