Migrating forum software always has it's quirks, and this one is bugging my most active users. I can't find anything like this in any of the searches I've done, yet this was possible with Invision before we migrated to Xenforo 2.3. The screen shots below show the behavior on Invision we would like to duplicate.

When clicking "New Posts", they want to read the first new post, then jump to the second new post directly, without having to hit "back" on their browser to re-visit the "New Posts" page. See images below. In image 1, the user will click on the first unread post, "Invoice question", read it, and then at the bottom of that new post, there's a link to the "next unread topic".

Is this possible in Xenforo? I'm new to the software as well, so I expect this has already been addressed and is in some config item I don't know. I did search and saw several items like new posts buttons, but not a "workflow" solution like this.
 
As an alternate, create a block for "New Posts" that looks similar to the "Similar Threads" block that appears under the last post of a thread:

new-posts-block.webp

I may take a crack at that myself using the New Posts template.
