Group PM “pick up where you left off”

Hi,

the URL for a group message

https://your.forum.com/t/topic-slug/topic-id

has been returning first post of message, even if later posts have been read.

Appending /last onto the URL, and then sharing that URL with my users in various ways, has encouraged them to use the group messaging system.

We prefer the Group PM system over WhatsApp, because it’s easier to find out which users have read a particular post, aiding the above issue. It might be worth mentioning that i have discourse-whos-online installed

Is there a way discourse could be updated to have \unread append on group message topics go-to the first post unread. I feel this would greatly improve the already-useful group messaging system.

Just to link it up, there’s also a similar Feature request for this as well, though not specific to group messages:

And maybe this one would be useful to pull out from there too:
