Read VS Unread


Hey T, question for ya.
Just wondering since I'm such a busy guy and all, (being unemployed at the moment),
Sometimes there are topics/threads and or posts that I have no real interest in reading.
If I don't read 'em, they hang out forever in this unread list. Every once in a while, I have to go through and click 'em and close 'em, click & close, click & close, click & close. Jeeze.
Is there some way to "mark all read" like I can do in my email?

Yep, that's an easy one. There are 2 places you can do that. See the illustrations below (click each it to see full-size). One is in the navigation panel on the left side - click Quick Links > Mark Forums Read. The other is on the forum home page (not the website home page), down near the bottom, below the list of forums. Just click Mark Forums Read and you're there.

When you visit the forum and have read all you want to read and don't want to save anything unread for later, then click either of those links and the next time you visit, you'll start with a clean slate of New Posts.

Best R'gards,

Jim

Bill, you should read those topics anyway. You never know when we'll be talking about you in one of them.

Re: Read VS Unread


At the bottom of the community forums page, where it lists all the forums, scroll down to the bottom and along the bottom border of the listings it will say "Mark Forums Read"

Also the forum tools tab up at the top right. directly above the views and replies numbers column

Right, that's one of the pictures I showed. That's the Forums Home page.

That will only mark the forum you are in read, not all the forums. And actually, vBulletin forums have always been inconsistent in that one working. I'm not sure it has been fixed in this version.
