I wasn't thinking about jump-to-unread, although jump-to-unread uses jump-to-post as far as I remember. I was talking about the links that take you directly to a particular post. Every post has it in their header.
With the new system a link like that won't work anymore, because different users may have different page settings. So I was just saying that, amongst other things, we need an intermediate jump to calculate where to send the user if they click such a jump-to-post link. -- Janus On 07/12/2012 03:22 PM, [email protected] wrote: > A long time ago, the jump to unread was broken.
