Possible to open threads at first unread?
Most car forums I'm on there is a setting that means that when you open a thread it opens up at the first unread post....unless I'm missing it there does not seem to be that option here. I know there is a "First unread" post button....but having that happen automatically would be easier. Thanks in advance.

Sort of...
Just as an example, for this thread : https://mbworld.org/forums/suggestions-feedback/823696-possible-open-threads-first-unread.html
It becomes https://mbworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=823696&goto=newpost

Edit: Looks like the hyperlink is messing up when the font is in a different colour, please copy and paste the link instead.
Edit2: My bad the method I posted is even more complicated, sorry. Let's wait for someone else to answer.

I think I found it but I am unsure if this is really what you are looking for:
1. First go to https://mbworld.org/forums/profile.php?do=editoptions
2. Under "Thread Display Mode"
3. Change it to "Linear - Newest First"
4. Save changes.
Here is the help document that might be helpful:

When viewing the thread, you will see a small icon arrow near the title of the thread. Clicking on that will direct your browser to the first unread post within that thread based on your activity time (long-term) and the what you've actually read (short-term):
