Is it possible to make some sort of "go to first unread reply on this topic" button???

There already is one, isn't there? - the yellow icon to the left of the topic title.

yep, take a look at my screenshot, there is an arrow with small orange page, just before topic name, it will take you to first unread post

anyway, Owen I have a request, I know it is possible but I don't know if you need mod to this, I want you to make possible to enter the topic not only with clicking on it's name, example if I click on cell where is the name (marked rectangle on the screen) it will take me to this topic

Actually, this button is for viewing the most recently posted post. You can see this if you hover your mouse over. "View Newest Post". In my opinion, a link to the first unread post is unnecessary not to mention there really isn't enough room next to the thread name with having the existing one and the attachment icon.

I do the same, it works fine for me. If things posted don't make sense, I go to the previous page.

No they aren't. If ten posts had been made that you hadn't read, the first unread post would be the first of these ten. The newest post is the last of these ten.

He means when you click last post button, not new posts button.

That's what I thought... However, it was just an idea, and if it is impossible or too much work, or concidered as stupid, I'll understand...

ehm I don't think so... the current button goes to the last posted, I want it to go to the first one posted that I've not read... that's a difference, and nobody has said anything about possible to change it

(no offense though)

That is possible, but often it annoys me on other forums when that's the way it is as sometimes I click it when I don't mean to, or want to open it in a new window but click it by accident, so I'm afraid it's not really going to happen. As for the new post thing, I'll investigate.
