Add a method to clear checked posts for moderation in forum

[AtariAge]

Is there a way to reset the posts you have tagged for a moderation action?  Yesterday I tagged a bunch of posts to split into another thread, but didn't act on them as I wanted to verify they were they correct posts.  Today I found out that they weren't, and I have a list of the correct posts to move.  However, now I have to hunt down those posts and uncheck them before I can check the proper ones.

 

 

It would be really nice if there was a simple way to clear whatever content you have selected so you can start over..  I don't see any obvious way of doing this.  I suppose I could clear all my forum cookies, but that's obviously not ideal.  Otherwise I have to hunt down those posts and deselect them all first.

Thank you,

one work around may be to use the select 'none' option in the top tick box (per page)?

Yes, that definitely helps, but the posts were scattered across multiple pages of a thread.  This is not the first time I've run into this.  It does look like the selected posts are remembered on a per-thread basis, which is good.  But I've sometimes had to take the time to go through many pages of a thread to select posts, and then deselecting can be a bit of a pain.

I’m not in front of my PC to check but my guess is that it uses cookies to “store” the IDs from different pages. Clean cookies to test.

It's in the local storage. Key is "moderation.topic-<topicID>".
In Chrome you'll find the local storage in DevTools > Application > Local Storage (sidebar).

EDIT: But this is just a temp fix. There should have been a way to wipe the selection in the moderation menu.

Thanks, that's useful information, especially knowing exactly what key is involved!

I agree, that would be nice to have.
