Re: Questions? I Got Your Questions Right Here, Buddy.
On the topic of "mark all read", is there a way to have a button on the main index to mark everything as read at one click? I still haven't gotten into the habit of clicking the button in each topic area. Kev If I'm not mistaken, when you're at the top level (e.g. after clicking on "...

Re: Questions? I Got Your Questions Right Here, Buddy.
If you look at the heading for each of the posts, you'll notice a little "document" icon (it's the thing that looks like a sheet of paper with a corner folded over) -- the color indicates read/unread state (grey=read, red=not read). Similarly, on each thread, there is a round icon to the l...
