We'll give that a shot and see how it holds up...
UPDATE: No go. It causes the screen in IE6 (WinXP) to stretch horizontally in order to show all page links, and anything over 20 or so pages makes the thread hard to read. I set the number of page links to 7. It should be showing 7 on either side of the current page, but it's not, so I'll look around for a fix.

Click the "View First Unread" link at the top of the thread you're in to go to the first new post in that thread.
