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.

I very rarely go to that page
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..

Yeah, def. add that link to that page, it would make a big difference, and much, much more easier for everybody.
Thank You!
EDIT: I see you guys added it to the bottom of the forum topics!, Thanks!

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....
