Jump to New Post

How can I set it so that when you click on a thread it will take the user to the last read post, or first new post..

I know you can click the arrow next to the thread title and it will take you to the new post. But is there a way to make it do this when you click the Thread title?

Not by default, as clicking on the thread title is supposed to bring you to the first post. I think you might hurt your indexing with search engines by changing it, but not 100% sure.

Just edit the threadbit template.
Find:

{vb:link thread, {vb:raw thread}, {vb:raw pageinfo}, 'threadid', 'threadtitle'}

Change to:

{vb:link thread, {vb:raw thread}, {vb:raw pageinfo_newpost}, 'threadid', 'threadtitle'}

How should that hurt SEO? Search engines are guests by definition. They don't have last unread posts in threads, since they don't honor cookies in that way (and if they did, they would have already indexed the rest). They'll end up on page 1 of the thread no matter what.
