How to clear old posts

Post by mike » Wed Mar 25, 2009 8:41 pm

Is there a way to clear unread posts without reading them all?

Yes, on the left side, just under the "Search Found XX Matches" title it says: Mark All Forums Read

Click that and they will disappear.

Oh I see. Thank you. I guess there is no button to clear them all from every forum, or do I have to do each one individually?

I can't see the Mark All Forums Read under the "Search Found XX Matches" title. Where do I have to be to see that?

Or, when you are in the Forum Index, scroll down past all the Categories and just above where it lists who's online, you should see 'Mark All Forums Read'. Click on that, and all postings on all forums will be marked read and you don't have to look at all those flags!

There it is! Thanks for the help. The writing is so tiny.

I guess that that particular writing is small so that you do miss it. leading to you reading more posts and hopefully participating more :D .
Addicted to Finches, yes I do admit it.
I pray they never find a cure.
