No way to see which messages are new
Currently when viewing a room that is marked with having new activity, the messages window is scrolled down to the newest ones, with no way of knowing which ones are actually new.
As a user, I would like to know from which point should I start reading the backlog of messages to not miss anything and read them in chronological order.
Some examples of solving this would be:
- Have the option to jump to the first (oldest) unread message
- Open the room at the point of last read messages so that all new ones will be below (perhaps with an option to jump to the bottom)
Those two solution would work for different contexts, the first one in a big public room where the current discussion is more important, and the second one in smaller conversations - where reading every message in order is important. So perhaps both could be available as a per room setting.
