I looked and didn't find an option for that.
Someone on another site noted in late October:
Quote:I've learned how to edit the template using the tools that are built in to the software, but (the forum software) doesn't track unread posts in such a way that I could change the links on the index to go to the last unread post rather than the newest post.
...So, for now, I guess the only option is to use the "View New Posts" link at the top of the page. Sorry about that.
There was a discussion of the feasibility of this on the forum software's support forum back in July and August, but no one came up with a solution.
Someone offered some code but another responded, "Won't work, unfortunately. Surprisingly there's no variable defined for this in (the forum software), which makes no sense."
