Forum Question

So, I may just be blind and not seeing it, but... There's the Mark Topics Read in each one of the forum areas. I've yet to find one that's a top level, Mark All Read kinda thing. Does that exist on this forum?

Only reason I'm asking is on the forum Portal, there's that nice little display of New Posts, Unread Posts, etc... But the Unread Posts keeps growing and growing, even though clicking it shows nothing. My only thought is because there's posts happening on hidden forums, and since I can't see those hidden forums, I can't clear those unread posts out, cause I can't even see them.

Just a little nitpick more than anything!

Lillu would know better than I, but I can't seem to get it to mark all forums as read. I tried breaking down the URL for marking things as read and I can't seem to mark anything but topics, individually. Maybe if I get a peek at the source we can fix how it adds up unread topics or toggle in some kind of mark everything read.

If you clink the Board Index link (next to the Portal link) on the main page, you should get this page: index.php

There's a checkbox on the top right corner (if you mouse over it you'll see: Mark Forums read). Clicking that checkbox should mark all unread posts read.

That works for you?

Holy crap, I thought I'd checked everywhere. I didn't even notice that little box there. Worked like a charm, thanks Lillu and Noren!

I totally overlooked it, myself! Lillu = forum magician.
