AndrewDavid Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Just wanted to start a discussion about the subject software. Yes I˝m a newbie - but catch on fast. My first question is about the ¨¨Mark site read¨¨ button. Is it not meant to mark each thread as read. It appears to me its marking the whole site as being read instead of just the individual thread.

In every subforum you find a link "Mark forum as read". Edited February 8, 2017 by IRON67 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewDavid Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 I think I understand - surfing around and seeing that button now - thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewDavid Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 You mean to say I cant mark each topic individually - for example the plugin forum - Yes I can mark the WHOLE forum as read - but I just want to mark each content / subject / next level / whatever you want to call it - as read so I know which plugins I have read. That I think is what I˝m getting at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read it, it will be automatically marked as read (of course) and all topics, that you don't want to read, you can ignore and mark the whole subforum as read.

AndrewDavid Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) I think the mistake I made was clicking the button on the top marking everything as read (I cannot uncheck it) - now I don˚t see the buttons at the top of the topics. By marking the site as read same issue - I cant uncheck it - when I look at unread content - I only see what has just been posted. Creating a new activity stream helps Edited February 8, 2017 by AndrewDavid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRON67 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) The mark-site/forum-as-read-action is a single action. There's nothing to "uncheck" (maybe the checkmark is misleading). You can't make it undone and you can mark again, if something new was posted. Edited February 8, 2017 by IRON67 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewDavid Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 Thanks for the clarifications. Creating a new profile would resolve my issues - but no way am I going to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not a question of your profile settings but of your understanding of the forum software 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
