how to mark unread post read?

November 15th, 2010, 06:40 PM

When I login, there is a number (for example 57) for my unread post, and I can click on the list to read or click on clear to set all of them "read".

What if I'm only interested in some of the stop and not all the top, How do I set some of them as read? Do I really have to go into each one of them?

To set posts as read, you have three options. 1) Read them, 2) mark the subforum as read, or 3) use the 'mark all posts read' function. To mark the subforum as read, go to the subforum then at the top click 'Forum Tools' then 'Mark this Forum Read'.

Hello Mike,

Is the " Mark Forums Read" feature working as intended or is it broken?

When I click the link posted above I receive the following message:

However the "Clear" feature located on the top right of my screen does work.

I think it's another problem here, try to go back on the main page, then try again the same procedure.

Thanks for the fast reply Sam. I am still receiving the following error message: "Your submission could not be processed because a security token was invalid."

Thanks for reporting. This is not a feature I ever use so it was probably broken since we upgraded from vb 3.8.5 to 3.8.6 several months ago but no one reported it. Try it now and let me know.

I also cleared my cache, however the same error message persists.

Cogito ergo sum

I also cleared my cache, however the same error message persists.

Don't use the link to the URL you posted above, it won't work.

The only option available should be "clear" now on the top right.

Ok that feature worked the entire time, however the "Mark Forums Read" feature is still available as one can see in the attached image:
