Question/suggestion for forums

[Jon C.]

I hope this is the right forum for this.

Anyway, is there a setting somewhere that lets me go to the first new post in a thread? I can't find anything like it anywhere. If there is no thing like this, can it be added?

Second is in regards to the "Latest Forum Activity" list on the front page. Any time I click back out of a thread, it takes me back to page one of the list. Its a bit annoying if I am on page 3 or 4.
