The new EA Sims Forum
I am a member of the soon to be Sims Forum. I have also raised my concern in the Forum and will repeat it here. Perhaps this debate has already started somewhere else, but forgive me for not seeing ...

- Jump to first unread.
- Does not exist yet.
- Deep link to a comment to continue at a certain spot.
- This exists either via the ellipsis menu (copy link) or by right clicking on the timestamp and copying the link address via browser context menu.
I hope I've misunderstood something, but timestamps still need to be improved because they don't navigate to new/unread posts in a thread.
For example, on the Recent Discussions page for Questions & Feedback on EA Forums' functionality, clicking on the timestamp related to your comment (pictured below) doesn't do anything but take me to the first post.
It's annoying to know that there's a new comment, but that it takes wading through a maze of nested replies to find it. In this case, sorting by Newest, Oldest, or Most Liked was not helpful. I had to click Show More an unreasonable number of times to find your comment, even though this thread has relatively few of them. In a longer thread, I wouldn't bother. Unfortunately, "not worth bothering with" is becoming a more popular sentiment regarding these forums as weeks pass with no improvements being made to navigation and no clear timeline.
Anyway, I see that the timestamp on the actual comment works, but that's not particularly useful, because finding the comment in the first place was the problem.
