SOLVED: how to disable "Mark as read"?

[Pavel Chernitsky]

I don't get the need for a "mark as read" button, but I do understand that it has more good than bad potential for those who do want it when it's presented as "mark as read" (like the text button under the search bar). 
What I don't understand, is the need to make the "dots" (icons?) next to forum names act as a "mark forum as read" without any popup window or confirmation dialog. 

Is there any way to disable that functionality or have it display any kind of dialog?

To solution.

By editing the theme you could remove the data-* attribute that facilitates the mark as read functionality.

Can you say that again, but in a way a monkey* would understand? 😄

Are you using the grid or the table layout @Pavel Chernitsky

Thanks for the assist.

Find this template:

forums > front > index > forumRow

Find this:

{{if !$forum->redirect_on}}
			{{if \IPS\forums\Topic::containerUnread( $forum ) AND \IPS\Member::loggedIn()->member_id}}<a href="{{if $isSubForum}}{$forum->url()->setQueryString( array( 'do' => 'markRead', 'return' => $forum->parent_id ) )->csrf()}{{else}}{$forum->url()->setQueryString( 'do', 'markRead' )->csrf()}{{endif}}" data-action='markAsRead' title='{lang="mark_forum_read"}' data-ipsTooltip>{{endif}}
			{{endif}}

Remove it and then find this:

{{if !$forum->redirect_on and \IPS\forums\Topic::containerUnread( $forum ) AND \IPS\Member::loggedIn()->member_id}}
			</a>
			{{endif}}

And remove it as well.

Edit: Is there no Mark as solution in this forum? Couldn't find it... So I edited the title 🤷‍♂️

See, it would have been more clever if you had marked your answer as Marked as Solved.  That would have been meta. 

And a good demonstration of the software.
