Add this to the "View Posts Since Last Visit"

Post by nickman013 »

I suggest that you should add, "Mark All Topics Read" feature on the "View Posts Since Last Visit Page"

Why, you ask :?:

Because most people usually go to View Posts Since last visit, (i know i do) and they can view the posts since their last visit, and then it wil be easier to Mark all the topics read from there, i think it would just be easier.

just my 2 cents. :roll:

I very rarely go to that page :P

Anyways, you could just kill your session cookie, which will make the server reset your last visit timestamp. :)

Seriously, this is hands-down one of the best suggestions I've ever heard.

Unfortunately, I've never seen such a mod. Might be tough to implement.

I haven't seen such a plugin either, but it doesn't sound all that difficult to do, since it already has the full list of outstanding threads, the read marker (cookie) takes a thread id and timestamp (that's it) .. I'm sure it's similar for the table based read list..

There's always been links to mark all topic read in a given forum but not one to mark all topics read across the board.... :)
