There is a Greasemonkey script here that will jump you to the first unread post in a thread here on CP (or any vBulletin forum).

I've been using it for the afternoon, and it seems to work pretty well.

(note: I'm using Firefox 2.0b2 and Greasemonky ver 0.6.5)

Isn't that what those little down arrow icons on each thread do?

Yeah.. I actually find the addon a bit irritating if I actually want to start at the first post.

Does it? I know it is different than just clicking the thread, but I guess I just didn't figure out exactly what it does.

I can never keep track of what features each board has.

Anyone read Ars Technica? I have a script someone wrote there that actually tells you how many new posts have been added to a thread since you last read it. I guess I was looking for something like that, found this script, and didn't even realize it was already a feature.

Actually, when I hover over the button the tool tip says "Go To Last Post"

Guess I shoudl find a few busy threads and figure it out.

You're talking about the arrow that points to the right.

In a thread with new posts there will be an arrow that points down, and it will be just to the left of the thread title.
