Last Post icon
I am sure not many of you like the current one. Since it is a last post, I made a tag icon instead. Do you approve ?
PS : I have made green and blue variants
Also, which file should I edit to use Font Awesome tag icon on github ?

That's a tag icon. Doesn't make sense to me.

A Tag is an identification to find something later amongst the crowd. Here it is used to find where you left the thread last time.
PS : Nice to know you are doing freelance. Hope you will be able to help a lot of people.

Interesting way of looking at a tag. Makes more sense but not intuitive for me.

Good explanation of why you chose the tag, but I'm with Josh on this, seeing that icon I don't think I'd know what it does. And yes the current one is a bit of a dud.
Not sure what you are asking about on font awesome?

I wouldn't be against xenforo behaviour of linking to subject to the first unread message. Though I would point to the latest message in case of no unread (except for guests that would link to the first page of the topic)... yeah, it sounds strange, but I guess it's what everybody does, so after a moment of "adjustment" it would become quite natural.

Hmm no. If I click on a topic I want it to show the topic, not the last message. If I click onto latest post then I want it to show the unread stuff.
Imagine that in an informative topic but with loads of replies, I'd like to read (or re-read) updated informations, not to read new replies.

That's what I get for multi-tasking... I think I misunderstood the whole thread.
If you mean that clicking on the "last post" icon on the right will bring you to the last unread then YES.
If you mean that clicking on the topic title link on the left will bring you to the last unread then NO.
That's what I mean.
