Following breedmitch’s suggestion above about positioning at the bottom of the thread as you check in on activity (questions) you’re following (which ye Fluther gods were able to implement-awesome), is the option to jump directly to the next alert/topic/thread in your “Activity you’re following” list when you’re at the bottom of the current thread.
For example, if you have three alerts for activity you’re following, you click on the first question, then once you’ve read the new replies in that topic thread, at the footer of the thread is a button labeled “next thread” or “next activity you’re following” or something to that effect.
That way I don’t have to click back button to the “Activity you’re following” link and go back to the list of questions to read the next topic that has new replies…I know that may sound nit-picky or lazy, but on an iPhone, it is an extra click or two or three (and sit while that page loads on EDGE-argh!) in order to get to the next thread
(i.e. I hit the back button to get back to “Activity you’re following” then have to click on the the next question-two jumps versus a single click to jump directly from one thread to the next). If there’s a better way to do this than hitting back button in order to check each question, clue me in…
