First unread post button

Hey,I know the little down arrow button is for going to first unread post in the thread.
But the damn thing is so tiny,does anyone know of a way to make it bigger or replace it?
Or is there a way to make clicking the thread title always take you to first unread post?Like the old forums did.

I like the new forums,they seem to be a little slow from time to time but I can live with that.
But the first unread post thing is really annoying.

Greasemonkey is your only option, I think.

In case you were unaware, Greasemonkey is a plugin for the Firefox browser that lets you automatically replace bits of web pages with something else. So you could theoretically use that to replace the little down arrow with something else or change the thread link to the link that the little down arrow is attached to.

It's not the easiest thing to do though.

Or they could change it, and make everyone's lives easier.

Or just use Firefox and enlarge the page a click. Type is larger, easier to read, and stupid little down-arrow icons are MUCH easier to click on.

YMMV

My solution has been to be patient and develop muscle memory. The arrows are always the same distance from the left margin. The page is always in the same place on my screen. My mouse is always in the same place on the arm of my chair. Thus the same practiced motion will get me to the arrow to click.

If you have Firefox, the following also works:

1a. Install Firefox. (For those who don't already have Firefox )
1b. Install Stylish.

2. Check out this thread by Zombie_Man, showing how to customize the CSS of *just* these forums.

3. Check out my post in Zombie_Man's thread, showing how to use CSS to change images. (examples given are the "new posts" down-arrow and the "last post" right-arrow)

Mine isn't a greasemonkey script.
