"Mark All As Read"

[Tophias]

I inadvertently clicked on the "Mark All As Read" tab so now I can't see what  theads I have read and not read. I haven't been keeping my viewing during the summer months so I am playing catch up.  I have tried clicking the tab a second time thinking it would turn off the feature, but to no avail.  Can anyone offer advise how to undo my mess up?  Thanks all.

Simple - you can´t undo it.

I believe the forum software engine does have the functionality to mark a thread "Keep as New" (as with some e-mail software) -- but they don't expose that in the current interface as a 'control'.

In any case, the software won't keep a history of the 'read' flag for undo purposes, so once you mark them all as read, there's no going back.  Even with a control, you'd have to select the threads and mark them individually or via shift-click or whatever your computer system uses, which doesn't give you what you need.

I believe at one point you could 'flag' threads of particular interest, and then select out just those threads for review in a browser window.  Suspect this, too, is available in the forum software-engine code and might be easy to activate -- but only Kalmbach people could tell you so.

I have a similar problem with favorite pictures. A bit back when I was looking through the galleries I accidentally marked to images as favorites, and now I can’t unfavorite them. There is an “remove from favorites button, but it doesn’t work once I refresh the page!

 Since the forum changes the icoon on threads with new posts since my last visit, I don't bother. As I scroll down through the threads, I'll hit one with no new posts, and anything beloow that, even if not marked read, or shoowing new posts, will not have new posts since my last visit. Once it a while it will - a newbie post that didn;t get approved by a mooderator untilt he next day, but fairly rare and, since I gave up participating on multiple forums to stop wasting so much time, I can generally rememebr where i was anyway. Only section here I read all of them is in Electronics and DCC. I have many unread threads in all the other sections, I only read what interests me.
