Having done a search for a 'Jump to first unread post in a topic' the nearest I could find relating to it was this old thread...

We already have this
which will 'Jump to Last Post'
How hard would it be to convert it to 'jump to first unread post' within a thread for logged in members and leave it as 'jump to last post' for visitors who would not be 'cookied' so therefore the software wouldn't know what they'd read or not?

The forum has no way of knowing what the last post you read was as it is not tracked

You could make a decent guess based on the last visit time and the post time, but I forget exactly when the last visit time is updated.

the last visit time does not indicate whether you have read a post, or even looked in a particular forum. Plus that is exactly how Active.asp works by default, it will show you posts since your last visit.
The two thinks are by no means the same, I can visit without reading anything at all.

What would be required for the forum to know the last post you read, would it be possible to add this using cookies?
Postet den
yes, you could track it with cookies, you could create a cookie using the forum_id as part of its name and store the date against it, then retrieve when you want to use it
