Default for opening thread

How I use the forum… at the end of my time here, I mark everything as read. The next day, I check all unread, and I open the threads to read them.
Can the default be to go to the first unread message on the topic and have the start from the beginning be the smaller button? I’m usually on my tablet, so the small button on the touchscreen is trickier than the big ol’ link.
Just a thought, maybe I’m the only one that does it this way, but it seems weird to me to click the thread and always start at the top when the system knows where I left off.
Cheers,
Andy

On mobile, you can click the date next to the thread and it will take you to the latest post. This is absent from the desktop/tablet versions of the site for some reason.

Nice, but I don’t want latest, either. I want first unread, which is available on that little red icon, I just want to swap the functionality to make it easier for my undexterous fingers.

Clicking on the thread takes me to post #1 in each. Clicking on the red boxes takes me to first unread.
E.g. in the 42 corp thread, I see just the last two replies when I click the red box, I start from the beginning when I click the topic.

Interesting. I had no idea you could do that! Let me see if there's a setting for that anywhere...
