I recently discovered a little box at the right hand side that takes you straight to the new post - previous to that I was having to scroll through each thread from post number 1 to get to the latest post!

Please forgive my ignorance, but what 'little box on the right hand side' are you on about? There seems to be far more symbols on this site than meet the eye, given the numbers here saying they are discovering things for the first time.
Perhaps I should rename this thread "And what does that bit do?

Interesting topic for me.
Took me a while to realise what everyone was talking about. 
I always enter NGF via the "Show all unread posts", because I want to read everything about everything - even AustinBob's jokes 
So I had not really noticed the signals, nor given a thought about what they may be trying to tell me, perhaps I thought I was banned from the red signal ones  :'(
Not wanting to be a SPAD!

If you use the "Show all unread topics"  option the unread topic titles  are listed by most recent, alongside the topic title is a small orange box with "NEW" in it, if you click on "NEW" you are taken to your first unread post, if however you click on the topic title you are taken to the first post in the topic
