As an example lets say you have been on vacation for a couple of weeks (or just not dropped by for a while) you end up with lots of threads that have lots of posts that are unread. Once you have gone through the ones that look interesting and read all you want to, it would be nice to tell the software OK I am up to date only flag messages arriving from now on as unread/new. Its not that big of a deal but new stuff (after your holiday lets say) gets tangled up with all the old stuff that you aren't interested in anyway.

basically its one button that marks everything as read. Gives you a clean slate regarding new messages if you like. Functionally it would tell the forum software that you have no new un-read messages any more.

It becomes more of an issue the less frequently you visit and the more volume of messages you have. For example elitetrader I visit seldom but it has masses of messages. I Maybe visit once a month and see if there are any interesting threads. I then mark everything read. I know next time I go back I am not going to be scanning all the old stuff.

Not that big of a deal but a nice feature. The sun is out and everything is good

Cheers,
Nick.

Hey Nick,

You can just log out and log back in. That should clear all the unread posts.

Ahh Ok thats good. However it would be neat to have a way to be able to clear the 'threads that have not been updated since your last visit but still contain unread posts'.

If you cant read all the threads that interest you in one sitting you will still have to go through this section. Once you have caught up you want to get rid of all the 'junk' threads (no offence meant) other wise next time you get behind (and can't catch up in a single sitting) you will have to go through them again.

Hope I am being clear...and more to the point making sense. As I say no biggy.

Apart from that it bothers me aesthetically having all those threads there

Cheers,
Nick
