For instance, click on the Iris Cubit, then pick a forum like General Discussion. From there it shows a list of all the current threads and if there is a red 'Yes' meaning a new unread post, rather than click on the thread title and the clicking on Skip to New, you just click the red 'Yes' and it automatically goes to the first unread post. Same feature Dave has added here, now it's on Cubits.
Whoops cross posted with Trish, but the directions apply to ATP, just rinse and repeat over there.
