jklcpa Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Out on the main page where the individual forums are listed, at the left side next to each forum there is a dialog balloon with quotes inside. Clicking on that balloon marks that entire forum as "read" without ever having to open it. I found this by accident. Am I the only one that didn't know that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Taxed Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 If you hover your cursor over that it tell you. So if you mark it as read, can you unmark it if you want to see newer posts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn EA USTCP in Louisiana Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 I discovered that feature just last week. I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcjenkins Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 If you do that, you can not reverse it. I've used it occasionally but I find I'd rather open the forum, give at least a fast scan of the new posts,to see if there are some I want to read, before I click the Mark this forum as read option.

Guest Taxed Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Sort of freaky if you can't reverse it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion EA Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 But, handy for those forums re specific software or software issues you don't have. I don't use it on this General Chat forum but do use it on the others from time to time. I've also used it after being away and viewing this forum on a mobile device or borrowed computer only to find when I return home that nothing was marked Read while I was away. Of course, I have to skim through to get caught up first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jklcpa Posted May 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 ^ that, exactly! I also use it after being away for an extended period where I want to *start over* with the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
