go directly to the first unread message
how about this feature?
when you are in the forum, clicking on a thread would take to the first unread message with the url like index.php?action=displaythread&forum=general&id=1#12345 where 12345 would be the id of the first message that you didn't read (based on the time of the message and the lastVisitTime from the cookie). i often don't even notice, and start reading old messages.. IMHO this would make it a lot easier to keep up with all the threads in the forums.. now, i know that caching of the forums makes implementing this a bit difficult, but i have an idea that i can explain if you are interested?

RE: go directly to the first unread message
Great. How about also adding a link next to the quote button that links to the same post with a similar url as in zombie's suggestion. That way it'd be easier to refer to a particular post elsewhere. That's not an everyday need, but when you fulfill zombie's request it shouldn't be a huge job to add it.

RE: go directly to the first unread message
yeah, that is a good idea too. every post title should be a link leading to that message (with #id).
matt: well, it depends on how you implemented caching, but i see two possible options: 1) when a user goes to the thread, you don't display the thread, but you first find out what is the first message from that thread that he didn't read (one simple sql query, or from the cached data array), and then redirect him to the same thread, with the #12345 (id of the message), and one additional param to prevent aditional redirects 2) or just display the thread, and while you are looping trought the message, note the first one that the user didn't read, and use simple javascript <body onload="location.href='#12345'"> (id of that message).
