hit the last post and then scroll up one or two messages to see what's new.
That would be nice if you visit a few times a day, but if you visit twice a week, you'd still have to read up on a lot of messages if a topic is very hot.
It would be better if there would be a link like "got to first unread post", as a lot of forum packages use. I don't know though if that can be easily implemented in this forum.
