CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TOPIC
Is there any way to move the "Mark Forums Read" link so that it's not right above the "board index"? I keep accidentally clicking on Mark Forums Read instead of Board Index when I'm trying to go back to the index to switch sub-forums. And then I have all sorts of threads marked as read that I haven't read!
I am very angry about this and insist that it be addressed immediately! I need to speak with your manager!!!

Simply switch to profile "SE Board Left". Problem solved!
(I don't do any of the board configuration stuff. I'd likely destroy things.)

Re: CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TOPIC
ugh, I need to change the color scheme to something God did not intend in order to get the "Mark Forums Read" button to move.

I have done this several times. I hear you.El Guapo wrote: ↑Fri Jul 24, 2020 12:35 pm Is there any way to move the "Mark Forums Read" link so that it's not right above the "board index"?

Even just a "Are you sure you want to mark all as read?" would be nice. I mean who actually does that anyway?

I'm another one that has done it. It's always followed be a very loud sigh...but then I'm mostly Eeyore.

It's an outrage, is what it is. Is it possible to call the police on a forum?

Re: CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TOPIC
I probably use that button five times a day. I'd prefer to invisiblificate from threads I know I never want to open (Cineplexity, I'm looking at you!), but as it stands, once I'm as up to date on a forum as I want to be, "mark all as read" is about as good as I can get things.

Re: CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TOPIC
I have also done this and REFUSE to change the display style as I don't wish to encourage the sloppy design decision someone made decades ago. I'm just going to leave the forum instead! Suckers!
In reality, doing this just confuses me visually since I don't actually make an effort to read all threads and instead I just feel like an overachiever for a while. Even though I'm embarrassed at the thought of having read some of those bullshit topics.

I saw a commercial on late night TV. It said, "Forget everything you know about slipcovers." So I did. And it was a load off my mind. Then the commercial tried to sell me slipcovers, and I didn't know what the hell they were. -- Mitch Hedberg

Re: CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TOPIC
I use it all the time. I go into a section, middle-click the threads I want to read, hit 'Mark topics read', and move on to the next forum. When I get done, I hit 'Mark forums read' to clear out the forums I don't read to begin with (usually just Forum Games.) I've yet to ever do it by going to to the board index.
On the other hand, at least once a week I go to click on the notifications and log myself out instead.
