Mark all as read?

So on the main forum tree, you have marked icons that are supposed to show if there are unread messages on a particular forum.
However if you go into that forum it turns out that there are threads that are months or even YEARS old that are marked as unread and keep that indicator "on" on the main forum tree.
I've tried going through and just clicking on supposedly "unread" threads to turn that indicator off but there are just too many of them.
This makes the "unread messages" indicator useless.
Is there a way to mark every post in a forum (not just individual threads) as "read"? Or could it be implemented to automatically consider a thread read if is it older than, say, 30 days?
It would make it a lot easier to tell where there are new posts on a forum that are actually new, and not just so old they're pages and pages back into the forum.
