Greek76 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I have a few members that complained about how its difficult for them to mark forum read and to be honest after they mentioned that to me I had a hard time finding that option. Maybe in your next release you can make it a lot easier to apply? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you using a custom theme which has moved it someplace else? Greek76 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greek76 Posted December 23, 2020 Author Share Posted December 23, 2020 I know its at the bottom of the screen but Im guessing my users don't want to have scroll that far down or have to look for it lol. Yes I am using a custom theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I am using a custom theme. That is what I thought. As mentioned above, you must contact its designer to move it back to its original place.

Adriano Faria Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 It is at the bottom of the page if you’re on a mobile device. Maybe he forgot to mention that. Greek76 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bfarber Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Since screen real estate is more limited on mobile devices, the most common and important elements need to be emphasized. While I sympathize with what you are bringing up here, the reality is that most average users are not regularly attempting to mark the forum as read (but they are regularly attempting to scroll through and read through topics). This is why the button may be de-emphasized on mobile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bfarber Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 No, we don't track click areas on your community with that option. I think it's fairly obvious what the average user is doing when browsing a forum and using it. The vast majority of users are reading, and perhaps replying, not using auxiliary features like marking a forum as read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
