It is the little down arrow next to the thread title.

Cat is correct, it is there.
However, it doesn't seem to work as well as the old one. I have, several times today, hit it, only to go to posts I had already read in the middle of the thread (yay for rhyming?). Other times, it sent me to my own post in the thread, not the latest one.
So, since we already have one, can I ammend the suggestion to: Fix the 'go to first unread post' button?

Happening to me too.
I'd like the results of clicking the thread title and the tiny little triangle to be reversed actually. Surely people rarely want to read the start of a thread again? Cant they datamine how many times the triangles are being clicked as opposed to the titles?
The new forums are dreadful on an iPhone.
I love the new pptions for creating posts, but the firums suck for readers IMO.

And if you have a browser which can use Greasemonkey (Generally Firefox, but there are others), you can use this script I wrote, which makes the thread title link to the newest post like it did on the old forums. (For a given value of "newest post" with respect to the current newpost bug)

Personally I would like a button next to the tittle that says "new" that would take me to the new posts. Easy to see, simple to understand.
Also, I dont see what arrows your talking about... maybe my forums are weird? I have noticed that its hard to navigate them... ill ost a pic of what they look like to me...

There is a white triangle pointing down next to the title of the thread. Before the first letter. That's the "take me to the first new post" button.
Though it doesn't seem to work too well, because if I ever close the browser completely, it treats every post as new.
Perhaps i am missing the option somewhere, but since migrating to the new boards, i have not seen a "go to first unread post" button. It would be kinda nice to have one.
