In the forums section, what happened to the “Mark as read” function(s)?

On IPS4.x you could mark the site as read, or mark a particular sub-forum as being read by clicking the sub’s icon.

The overall forum “Mark as read” used to be up top, just under the navbars, next to the, “Unread Content” button. With IPS5, I see the “Unread content” at the bottom but no, “Mark site read” function.

Is this not going to be included in IPS5? Or am I blind as a bat and have missed it somehow?

Thanks.

Hi @My Sharona,

If you click your display picture/name, you will find the ‘Mark all content as read’ function there.

Thank you.

An observation or two if I may...

In v4.x there were two ways to mark a forum as read. You could either click the forum icon or go to the forum, and click the, "Mark forum as read" (of which is primarily in the same place as you have posted here.

In v5.beta, in the current set up, there is no way to click the icon which would mark the forum as read. Additionally, on the forums home page, clicking the, "Mark all content as read", within the dialog box that drops down with a click of my user ID, does not automatically change the site to show that it has been entirely read. In IPS v4.x it did so. In IPS v5.beta a refresh is required to show everything read.

Please add the 'refresh' part there as a bug, as that should probably happen

Done.

And if I'm being honest... After utilizing v5 here for the past week or so, I don't care for the new location of the "Mark Site Read" function. It was simply much easier to use when it was located across from the breadcrumb. I'm not sure why it was moved to the drop down of my user name. Was it that intrusive where it was?

Just a FYI...

Just now, utilizing the "Mark Site as Read", does not mark the site as read. Even after a refresh.

I just used it and it marked it all as read. Can anyone else reproduce this?

Investigating this a bit further, while it doesn't show as read on the Forums home page, after a refresh, going to each individual forum shows all threads as read.

This is new this morning...

In fact, going to upload this image, the text "Insert" is gone as well.

The button is still there obviously, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to insert the images.

Mark as read is definitely broke. To duplicate:

Mark all read - You'll notice what looks like missing phrases in the popup dialog.

Refresh the page - The threads magically become unread again.

Clearing your cookies has no effect. After logging back in you can duplicate the process above.

And if I'm not mistaken it worked in BETA 13 but can't honestly remember.

Please ensure you are adding things you are seeing to the bug tracker

Please could you let me know what you are seeing in your system logs?

Marc, this is the Invision website. I don't have access to those logs 😂

Looks like the language strings have been repaired.

Excellent. Thank you for letting us know smile

And... they appear to be broken once again.
