Thanks for the great component @awesomerobot, I used it on one of my sites today.

I was initially forced to fork it, though, as one feature which would be nice is optionally linking to the first post.

Functionally some sites, like the one I was using it on, might prefer to link to the OP every time instead of latest read post, for e.g. FAQs, Site Guidelines etc., because as it stands, if you’ve read the article, you are subsequently lead to the bottom of the target on future clicks, which is jarring and not helpful.

For single post Topics, one solution is to remove the Topic closure notifications, but if you want to get to the OP when there is more than one real Post, you are out of luck.

I may at some point PR a setting for this if it would be accepted, but for now the _very_ simple changes are here in this template:
