Thanks to Botond (az3579), we just learned that people can go to a thread and find the last unread post by that person.
For example, let's say that you have read an entire thread. You leave the thread. You don't visit the thread for four days. In the interim, seven new posts appear during your absence.
When you come back to visit the thread, you have two ways to read the thread. Go to last post and backtrack or click the thread link at start at the top, making your way to the bottom.
Now there is a third way (and it's been available since the day we launched the site). When you get to a thread that has new posts (since your last visit), you can go directly to your last unread post (right in the middle of a thread). You just click the blue arrows that are surrounded by a little blue circle just to the left of the thread (thanks to Keith, kayger12, for explaining where the arrow is located). It will take you to your last unread post in the thread. No more having to backtrack or waste time going from the top down.
