On this very note, one issue I have when browsing the forum on a small screen is that sometimes, when opening a thread that I'd previously read but has since been dormant, I'm not automatically taken to the first unread post, rather I'm directed to page 1.
This isn't too much of an issue on a large screen, as I can click on "Go to First Unread", and get to the new material with little delay. But on a narrow screen, that button becomes hidden from view. That means I either have to work through each page one-at-a-time until I see the red "new" icons next to a post, or go to the last page, and potentially work my way backward if there's been a new page of posts since I last visited. (And, because I've already visited the newest page, the "new" icons are gone, and I have to make an educated guess based on post dates, and/or what I remember reading previously.)
An alternative workaround, on my device, is to unlock screen rotation, turn the device 90 degrees, click the reappeared "Go to First Unread" button, turn the device again, and re-lock screen rotation. It's a bit of a palaver, though.
I appreciate that the bug of not landing on the first unread post may be tricky to identify and fix. But if a tweak could be made to the forum's CSS so that the "Go to First Unread" button isn't ever hidden on narrow screens, that would make for a one-click workaround for those using a small screen.

The relevant code is in css.php, lines 1942-1948:
Code:
@media (max-width:480px)
{
.Responsive .PageNav .unreadLink
{
display: none;
}
}
Commenting out or removing this portion keeps the button shown at all times, according to my testing.
