We recently updated our forum to V5 and are still working through things that have changed, new features, and things that aren't available anymore. One feature that was very useful for our forum members was being able to click the icon next to a forum, or the circle/star next to a thread, to make that forum or that thread as read. If a topic is of no interest to one of the members, it made it easy to mark that section as read and then move on. Now, every member has to either mark absolutely everything as read, or open every single thread/topic/forum/subforum. It's even more difficult for admin when there are threads posted in advance and scheduled to appear for everyone else at a future date.

After looking around in all of the admin options, we can't find a way to turn this back on. Is it a setting we're not finding? Was it removed altogether in V5? If so, what reasoning would there be to not allow this as an option anymore?

Thank you for your help!

This isnt something that is an option at present. Its not something that was particularly removed. Its that v5 was written from the ground up in terms of the them, and that simply isnt part of the theme

This is helpful to know. I'll add it to the "Ideas and Requests" section as something to add back in the theme for V5.
