A simpler way to say 'I have seen everything here'?

[Alberth]

Hi,

Is there a simpler way to say 'I have read everything here'? The 'mark topics read' link just works for 1 forum or 1 group of forums.
For example, in 'off-topic', I have no interest at all in the forum games, so after reading the threads, I'd like to say 'I have seen everything here', including the forum games. If I don't do the latter, at top-level the forum stays 'has unread messages'.
Right now, I have to click 'mark off-topic forum read', 'return to last visited forum', 'mark forum-games as read'.
It gets a bit tedious doing that every time, so I was wondering whether that can be done easier.

The "Mark forums read" button on the homepage marks all forums as read - the unread posts will be empty. I think this is exactly what you're looking for, but I never use it myself (apart from just now, to test it)

I tried it for some time, and indeed it seems to work. Thank you for finding it.

However, it would so nice if you could also do this more locally than at the global level.

You can. Go into a forum (such as "Off-topic", for example), and press "Mark All Threads Read". It'll mark all the threads in that sub-forum only as read.

Yeah, until you have a sub-forum that has threads as well as other (sub-sub-)forums, as I already wrote in my original post.

If you go into Off-Topic, you can press "Mark Forums Read", which marks all sub-forums as read. You can also press "Mark Topics Read" which marks all topics in the Off-topic (but not sub-forums). To mark them all simply requires two clicks.

Why do you repeat what I already said in the first post?

Did you even read it at all?
<sigh/>

[Chrill]

I did read it all, but I don't think two clicks is tedious at all. Adding a hack for it would be more tedious. Too much work for too little benefit. No need to get offensive either, I'm just trying to help.

Sorry, it is just that every reaction in this thread just repeats stuff from my original post.

(and you didn't try your own suggestion either, else you would have known there is a third screen in-between)
