Learn somethin' new every day...

Been on this site for a couple of years now, and usually just clicked on a post and scrolled down to the blue line to see the latest comments....sometimes, that's a LOT of scrolling.  I happened to let my mouse sit next to a post title the other day, long enough for the popup to show me what I was hovered over.  Turns out, the little blue dot (or star) NEXT TO the post title takes you straight to the first unread comment in the thread.  Hovering over the thread title shows a preview of the original post, so I can see if it was a pattern/question/comment that I'd commented on already, and then click on the blue dot to drop straight to the next unread post.    Yeah....it takes me a while to figure stuff out sometimes.

Yup, that’s the way to do it!

You just taught me something new. I did not know that.

Actually, that blue dot will become a star if you comment on a thread. So if you see a blue star, you know you already commented on it. It does not however change if you don’t comment, but only hit the reaction button to give it a like with the heart, the trophy, or face. Same thing with the star, like the dot, it will take you to the last read post you read. Also, if it is not blue (the dot or the thread title) then there have not been any further posts to it since you last looked or commented.
