First unread post link broken

Continuation from this post: http://deskthority.net/deskthority-rela ... tml#p49819

When click on the "First unread post" link in any thread which still is one page long, it just redirects me to board index.
I assume, since I am on the page where the unread post is the forum software thinks I read it already, so when I click the link it redirects me back to index.
It's far more comfortable to click on the link than to scroll down and search for the last post I read and determine where the new posts start.
Is this fixable?

Also a suggestion:
Could the file size limit for avatar pics be set higher? I resized a pic to 64x64px via Photoshop but can't save that damn thing in under 20kB, even if I select quality 0...

If I export a complex jpeg at quality 100 and 64x64px, it is just over 8k. I think you're doing it wrong? Is it really 64x64?

Yeah, I did it right. Just checked again.

Ok... yeah, you are right.
I didn't proceed the jpg saving process fully. When PS asks you about the jpg options it shows the size. But either it is not the actual file size or some other info I don't know about. After actually saving the pic it only had 12kB.
Maybe it's the binary vs. decimal thing. Like an advertised 500GB external drive doesn't have actual 500GB in windows.

So yeah, my bad

The max size is just a counter measure for animated gifs

And to keep pages loading quick if there are a lot of different posters.

So, what about my initial report about the broken first unread post link?

webwit · 30 Nov 2012, 02:38

I haven't looked into it yet. Maybe over the weekend.

Fair enough.

I can't reproduce this.
Do you mean clicking on the "View first unread post" icon on left of the topic title?
