Proposal:

To solve the problem cited below, make the default location that one enters a topic be the “First Unread” post rather than the “Last Read” post.

That way, sam would come back to topic #22 at post #7 instead of post #10 or 11.

Continuing the discussion from [How should I disable automatic redirection to the Last reply？]
