I wish there was a way to mark all read in a single click, like the other 6 or so boards I frequent have.

I'm playing with a Chrome extension that will mark all links as visited. It won't remove the "new" mark on the main page but each forum will show the links as already visited. If it works at least minimally I'll link it here.

Another board I frequent announced they are migrating to the XenForo software. Third one of mine.

No. It use to be when you logged off all threads were marked read so when you logged in next time, only unread threads were marked new. I know I miss a lot now but the board mechanics just make it hard.

The Chrome extension that I tested is working. I have to go into a forum, like "Gear Forum" but then when I do I click on the extension and it marks all links as visited (read). I wish it would follow links and mark them all read so this could be done from the main forum page, but it's the next best thing.

I am POSITIVE this has been covered numerous times, but is there a button or link I can use to see unread posts, instead of clicking into each forum? I looked for a forum help area but can't find it. If you point me to somewhere obvious, I'll just apologize and move on.

Yes and No is the answer.


(No), there is not a way to tell when you are on the first forum called Boundary Waters Quetico Forum to see if there are any unread posts. You need to click into a particular forum to see this information.


(Yes), you need to click on one of the forums to see that information. Example is once you click on the Gear forum you will see the various threads listed. The threads that are colored orange are the ones that have new posts that you have not clicked on and read. The threads that are colored tan are the threads that have no new posts and you have read. So looking at it if I see a tan thread I’m all caught up. Another thing is to look at the top of the page by the thread sponsor. You will see in fine print the number of new messages that you haven’t read and the time you last visited this page. You can also read the date and time stamp of the last post if you can remember that last post time.
