I open the specific forums I want to read then mark the whole board as "read"

Does any one but me wish that there was a forum wide "Mark all as read" button? There are some sub forums I don't read and I'm not interested in but at the bottom where it shows some new topics, I'd rather see topics from the subforums I DO frequent, so seeing stuff in there from the Business Credit or Student Loan forums etc sort of irks me. So, I then have to go to those forums individually and mark those topics as read.
It's probably silly, nit picky and slightly neurotic, so I'm hoping I'm not the only one that feels this way lol.
This is already available on the community home page in the quick links section about half way down the page on the right hand side.

oooh I'm going to check this out, thank you!
HA! Awesome! How was I so blind to have not noticed this before!! I must have assumed it would be at the top like the individual forum ones... lol thank you so much!
Actually I have one- Is there a way that the MODs can either change the color of the subject lines or something else to alert old threads that are 1+ year & up?

Unfortunately, no. That would take a development change in the core software platform to do something like that. It's not a setting controlled by the mods or admins at this point.

It's funny when it happens. I think it is due to people using the search function to find an answer.. and when the threads from the search come up, they're not in any particular order from most recent to oldest unless you sort it that way, but rather they come up as what the forum thinks as "most relevant" so a person reads what comes up, and posts their question or reply to it, and bam! Resurrected thread! (of course, that's just a guess on my part)

Exactly. That was the reason why i thought perhaps we can do something for the older threads alarming all members

Might be able to lock anything older than a year or two. I certainly wouldn't want to try to do that without access to the database but while I don't have access to the referers list from personal experience Google takes me to threads several years old here.
