    Mark all as read

    Hello.

     

    I am a member of several forums, and I am wondering if there is a "mark all topics as read" button?

     

    If there isn't, could there be one put into place?

     

    Just curious as it keeps things easier for me to read.

     

    Thanks.

    There is no "mark all topics as read" button, but if you look to the right, there is a link that says something like "posts you have not read." That may help.

     I use that button.

     

    However, there are 400+ pages that I haven't read, and that really drives my OCD just a bit wonky.

     

    It is ok.

     

    I can deal with it.

     

    It would just help me so I wouldn't have to sift through every post over and over again.

     Ok... (trying to get past some weird browser hijacking). Anyway, I forgot that there IS a 'mark all read' button, but it's not easy to find, obviously. Since I have to read every post, I never use it. That's my excuse for forgetting. Smile

    Go to the bottom of any thread list within a forum and there will be a "more options" button (or something like that) on the left side. Click on that and you'll find a "mark all read" button at the bottom right of that page.

    Pat - that would work but only if you want to skip everything in an entire group.  I know exactly what chocolatechic is referring to.  I too use the "Posts not Read" option, but there are some times that I see new topics like "Shoutout to xxxx".  I feel I don't need to read those, and would love a "Mark as Read" button.  Otherwise, I still have to click into each of the topics to get the forums to recognize that I've "read" them.

    It might be a long-shot to get such a feature, but I know I'd use it quite a bit - at least until I get caught up again.  Smile
