[Feedback] Finding New Posts

Threads now have their flag that tells me if there have been new posts in that thread since I last read it, which is great. However, I'm finding that I have trouble hunting down the new comments once I'm in the thread itself, as the only way to know is to check every post individually (unless there is some feature that I am missing, in which case it may need to be more noticeable).

In addition, sometimes the newer posts are hidden behind the "show more" sections. While this is very useful for browsing a thread I have not been in before, when following a discussion that I am very invested in I want to be able to stay up-to-date with the whole conversation. Just a small tag that says NEW on a post (similar to the ones on the threads themselves) and not hiding unread posts would be really helpful.

As for the first section, if you click directly on the flag that says New! it'll take you right to the posts that have been added since the last time you viewed the thread!

For this, I absolutely agree that it shouldn't hide unread posts. The only flaw I've noticed with this system thus far is that when you have really long threads it's difficult to navigate effectively.
