Please return "Mark site read" to the bottom of the site next to "Unread content".

When I view the site (mine or here), I start at the top, scroll to the bottom, load more activity (if there is any), right click (Windows) on the topics I want to read and say open in new tab, then click "Mark site read".

Now I need to scroll back to the top, click my name, find in a list "Mark all content read", click that.

Also, the page used to refresh to show all topics are now read - now it is almost imperceptible that anything happened.

Thanks

Same request from my users.

You can do it yourself in about 45 seconds. This post shows you how to add the Mark Site Read link in the footer.

That worked, although I feel as if I'm having to bag my own groceries. Will this be restored to a later release?

You could do it in 45 seconds. :)

Thank you!

Hmm, :) doesn't automatically convert to a smiley any longer?

We have no plans to restore it at this time.

There used to be a facility to mark individual forums as read by clicking the forum icon. This seems to be gone too.

It's been moved, but it's still here.

Amazing, thank you :D

Ugh, that's not convenient. Is there a way to get the old functionality back?

My use case:

• Visit site

• Determine which forums I don't want to read

• Mark those as read from the home page

• Click Unread Content

Now I need to open each forum I don't want to read, mark it as read, then do the rest.

Yeah, I used that functionality a lot myself on the forum index. 😔

The site wide mark as read? Matt linked to a topic that walks through how to do this.

Otherwise you could look at the discovery feeds to create feeds of areas you always mark as read.

I don't mind the new position, but the old position was logical.

Not sure which I would say would be the most user-friendly, but it's in a good area for the eye now.

No, these appear to be gone, at least that's what seems to have been reported. From the home page, I want to be able to click the forums I don't want to read, and have them marked as read.

I wasn't even aware of that old functionality, so thank you for pointing it out. Now that you've described it I've started using it on my v4 community and it's very useful indeed. Would be great if it could be ported to v5.

More complaints from users. Mark Site Read is restored on desktop with Matt's javascript, but not on mobile.
