Showing only New Posts in Thread

[LorinPotter]

I've searched and in over a year, haven't seen this as a patch or add-on. For now, I'm only asking if it's possible and perhaps where to look to try and write.

Or best yet, some good programmer thinks that it's a good enough idea to program. There are a lot of other forum software out there that does have this feature, it would be a great feature to have.

As our forum grows and some threads grow more than a few pages long, it would be nice to show something like "New Posts" before any thread that has new posts. Clicking on the "New Posts" icon would take you to the first new post in that thread.

I could edit the threads, but if there's say 20 new threads with new posts, it's quite time consuming to click on the thread, then click on "First new post".

TIA
