I’d still love to see a “Mark All As Read” button on these sites. There are a lot of threads that are not of interest to me and unless I actively read these, they just stay in bold black and need to be checked as something I might want to look at; nope, already decided I don’t need to look at that one.

Go to each main category, and there are settings to mute categories you aren’t interested in, if that helps? Can also be done on a sub-category basis the same exact way.
Might take a couple of minutes to set up, but will save on frustration in the long term.
I don’t think that solves my problem. I don’t want to mute whole categories and not even threads. I just want every thread to appear on the page as read so that only new threads after I, in theory, marked the whole content as read, would show up as unread. It is a super-common ability of, literally, a dozen forums that I visit from time to time.

Oh okay, I understand now.
There is a Mark as Read feature now I think about it.
Edit to add:
I’m not seeing it anymore, but I presume it only shows up when there are unread posts perhaps…
I have never seen it and here’s what I see.
So weird that that shows up for you. I have tons of unread thrteads dating back to before the change over. How do I get it??

I am getting highly confused by this. As I edited to add, that dropdown has disappeared for me now, so I am not sure what is going on…
If there are new threads in a category, there should be a tab with the new threads and under this is a button with dismiss new.
And there is a global “New” view available.
Hi Steffen. On my page, in that space I have “New Topics”. Under that, “Activity” and to the left of “Activity”, “Replies”. No “Dismiss New”. So weird.
