Mark All Forums Read

[Ambaryerno]

Maybe I'm just missing it, but is it possible to get a "Mark All Forums Read" button on the main page?

[Maecius]

Someone's as OCD as I am when they see all those unread threads.

I personally do it manually, and try to at least skim all new threads, but some people also like the "view new posts" button in the top-right corner under FAQ.

I don't think there's a way to mark all as read without opening individual subforums though. At least not right now.

I believe manually logging out will mark them all as read.
You could give that a try

I did, but no go.

You could give that a try

Code: Select all

<!-- IF not S_IS_BOT and U_MARK_TOPICS --><a href="{U_MARK_TOPICS}" accesskey="m">{L_MARK_TOPICS_READ}</a> &bull; <!-- ENDIF -->

Code: Select all

/styles/your_style/template/viewforum_body.html

Refresh the style in the ACP afterward.

Thanks, I'll give that one a try today or tomorrow!

And while I was looking through the code to put the button in there, I noticed it already there

You can mark all topics read per forum. If you go to Community Information for example, you'll see a small text-button in the green bar, under the "New Topic" button. In the right side of that bar, you'll find a "Mark topics read" button.

Does that solve your issue?

[Ambaryerno]

Yes, I know about the per-forum button. I'm looking to be able to do it from the global level.

[Eris]

I second that. It's incredibly annoying to have everything marked unread especially if you are new to to forum and every single thread is marked as such!

[Tsidkenu]

I'm pretty sure if you log out it does this automatically, and new threads from the time you logged out until the time you next log in will be marked as 'unread'.
