[suggestion] (one more) Tag all the posts on the "posts since last visit" as "read"

[quote author="chetankjain" date="1291740127"]I believe the global RSS feed (at least when I last used it) would intimate me of only new threads
For the existing threads that you are interested in, you could subscribe to them and get notified via mail for updates
Does this serve your purpose ?[/quote]
Not really.... It is not just about the threads you subscribed already.. It is also about the "new" threads that you may be interested on.

I miss this feature, specially after these days away from computers and with a lot of e-mails, feeds and topics to read. Sometimes I prefer to do a "reset" in some stuff, then start following everything again from that point :-)

We actually have this feature, but it's not advertised. We will add the link in a relevant place.
If you click:
http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/mark_all_read/
-it will do just that :)

Works like a charm :-) -
[quote author="mariusg" date="1294238793"]Button added to the search pages now, like the "Posts since last visit" list. Down to the right, big and green.[/quote]
It marks all the posts on all pages as read? Not only the posts on the respective page.
And it also does mark the threads as read which went active after loading the current page?
-
Ok... this leaves space for improvements :-)
Would it be possible to restrict the "mark read" to the set of posts currently presented in the search?
Think of someone reading the backlog after the weekend, 4 pages of new posts, reading some of them, answering etc. When through all 4 pages, he hits the "mark read" - but that would wipe out all the new posts that came in between calling the new posts page and hitting the button.

[quote author="Volker" date="1294261740"]Best would be a button/link near the topic to set the respective thread to read (via some AJAX magic).[/quote]
That could work but then you would need to select one by one... The nice thing about the "old checkboxes" idea is that you can mark all and the unmark some, ..

Good ideas here, I have to check if this is something for the forum software vendor to work on, as in "out of scope" for us.
My personal preference would be to have a "mark all posts on this page as read" button - since I mass-open threads I want to read in other tabs, then close the search result tab.
