"new" button
Just an random thought ...
When there is a new message in a topic, we show the new button as a way to jump to the new content.
I wonder if it would also make sense to link the subject text as well. Today the subject text will take you to the first post, while the small new button which just looks like a icon is what you need to click.
Second nature to us, but wonder if its intuitive at all.

This gets debated every couple of years. I have always been of the mind that I want the option to see the first post without additional clicks. I think that makes sense, but the newest post is usually the most important to the user. So, instead of clicking the new button, what if there is a link to get to the first post? Maybe "started by" is a link to the first post? Maybe something else.

On xf in "unread posts" the title of topic will bring you at first unread post (not first post of topic)
