Mark thread read replaced by site?

Featured Replies

Before the latest avsim site makeover I used to drop into various forums then when done for the day mark that forum as READ. Then check you another forum and do the same. The site let you mark all posts DOWNWARDS without affecting other forums /threads. 

This option seems to have disappeared from top of page and been replaced with the (imo) much inferior mark SITE read only found in top right menu drop down. 

Am I missing something or is this a permanent downgrade? I now have the entire site marked as READ which is not what I wanted to do.

We haven't changed anything in the configuration related to this, so I'd surmise it's a change in the new version of the forum software we just installed.

That said, if you open the last page of a thread, I believe it's automatically marked as "read"

It's hiding in plain sight right below the "start new topic" banner. Same line as the thread page numbers. Smaller font makes it real easy to overlook.

Had me scratching my head until I actually went to a topic/thread with multiple pages!

Somethings definitely missing for me. Used to be able to go to top level msfs 2020 for example, see nothing if interest then mark as read complete forum. Then go up a level and the other forums not affected. P3d /fsx etc. It seems to ONLY work now when you are already reading a thread and only for posts in that thread on different pages. Tried on mobile with desktop site and it's still missing for me.

Hate to put it this way, but "the Ole Gray Mare, she ain't what she used to be"!....It's the new software.
