Mobile site - mark all posts read

montsnmags · 01-29-2010, 07:32 AM

On the normal forum site, I go through all the "new posts", reading the ones that I'm interested in and then using the menu item to "mark all posts read" to clear out that "new posts" section.
When on my iPhone using the mobile website I go through all "new posts" similarly, but there is no option to "mark all posts read".
It's no biggie to go to the main site just for that menu item, but I wondered if including that item on the mobile site (perhaps under the "New posts" results?) is an option?
Cheers,
Marc (hoping it's not already there and I've just overlooked it)

I'd be lost and never be able to catch up without the "Mark Forums Read" options.

That shouldn't be a problem. If I remember correctly, we reasoned against including a "mark all post" button in the mobile version because it is easy on a mobile device to click on something you didn't intend to, and it would be rather frustrating if you accidentally marked all posts read.

Perhaps with a warning messages first...

Perhaps...but it's a good point. It's not as if I *don't* accidentally press the wrong buttons at times (I'm like pshrynk in the Star Chamber

).

Please, consider it a suggestion only on my part. The status quo (the current mobile site) works well for me, improved even more now I've found its Settings page (I'm adept at overlooking the obvious).

Cheers, and thanks,
Marc
