Merged: Threads RE: Unread posts links not working as expected

[#1]

Well this emphasises what I am saying.  Why not have the 4 items at the top of the forum like the old system?  Using this method to see your own posts you only actually see your own posts and not the whole post. Not to helpful.
Also what does "Show the last posts of this person" mean? All your posts?  The last days posts? The last months?
I am still not clear what "unread" means.  Does a post only get marked as read if I open it? The old system had a simple option - "View posts since last visit" Nothing about read or unread.

I actually prefer that if I am looking for a specific post I've made or a specific post made by someone else. If you click the title of a post on the resulting list it takes you to that post in context.

It actually will show you all the posts made in reverse date order - newest first.

Unread means exactly what it says - I'd love to know how you can read a post without opening it!

Does this need merging with the other unread post problems?

[#4]

I actually wonder if it would be a good idea if there was a separate sub-forum for queries and tips on the use of SMF. There are so many things in SMF that I suspect most people haven't found yet, and other things where it is different to phpBB.

Is there actually an issue here? - everything is consistently working as I would expect.
