Hi. I'm having some difficulty finding unread messages in a thread. I am blind and use a screen reader to access the internet. For some odd reason, when I click on the view first unread post option, it goes to the right page, but the cursor is not on the actual first new post. Both Google Chrome and Internet Explorer do the same thing. The cursor is usually at the top of the page, where on most sites when I use IE it will be on the actual text of the post.

Since Chrome likes to put the cursor in weird places, what I usually do on most messageboards is learn how the site labels its new posts, such as new post or unread and then make my screen reader find that word on the page. However, if the unread posts are labeled on WP, they are not labeled in a way that my screen reader can find. This means that it is a pain in the posterior to try to find new posts in topics I'm following, and I have to scroll through the whole page in order to find the latest posts. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks.
