Suggestion for subscriptions function
You should make it so that when you click on a thread with new posts from your subscriptions, it automatically scrolls the page straight to the first post that you haven't seen. This is how the forums on overclock.net operate and it makes for a much more enjoyable experience because you don't have to keep scrolling up and down the page trying to find the last post you read. I've got so used to it on that site and now every other site I use just seems frustrating. Other than that I'm really liking this site so far :)

The double-arrow icon in the "last post by" does exactly that I think :)

Oh damn I didn't notice that haha :P But does it just go to the last post in the thread or the first new post you haven't seen? I'm waiting for some posts in my subs so I can see....
Re: Suggestion for subscriptions function
Ok just waited for a couple of posts to appear on a thread I was watching and then tried that arrow button but it just took me to the latest post rather than the first new one I haven't yet seen. So my suggestion still stands :P

When I used it a moment ago, I was taken to the first new one that I haven't yet seen on a thread as opposed to the latest.

Hmm ok. I'm gonna keep testing it then and see if it does that for me!
Re: Suggestion for subscriptions function
Well I tested some more and it definitely just takes me to the last post of the thread every time...
Edit: I just noticed something. This isn't on the subscriptions page (god knows why) but I just noticed on a thread I went to it had similar looking arrows at the top which took me to the first unread post of that thread. I'm really glad that exists on this site now :) Just need it to be on the subscriptions page. Well, unless it is and I just can't see it haha!
Last edit: I reinstalled flash player cos I was having issues with it and now when I have a subscription with new posts there are another set of arrow buttons that take me to the first new post. So yeh it does already exist but I just couldn't see it before. It's all good now :)
