Until you hit 'mark all forums as read', that is.. ;)

Post #160,444 by FuManChu 6/18/04 6:34:30 PM Reply	Until you hit 'mark all forums as read', that is.. ;) Could we get that button (Mark all) to not mark a given forum with today's date if that forum has already been 'marked read' with a future date?
Post #160,448 by Another Scott 6/18/04 7:50:44 PM Reply	Or how about this variation: In Edit Preferences, give the registered user an option to hide certain fora (or alternately, have the user Subscribe to only the fora s/he wants rather like in a Usenet reader). I think it might get confusing if Mark All Forums Read didn't mark all of them to the same timestamp. But I agree that it might be a hassle if you've taken the trouble to hide a forum with an infinity+1 stamp to have to do that again. And since at present the only way to hide a forum is with an infinity+1 stamp, it's probably simpler to add a condition to Mark All than to implement something in EP. Cheers, Scott.

Or am I just not hip enough to Jabber, so I miss the dev discussions? ;) At any rate, the only thing the new intermediate page does for me is introduce another mouse click, thereby hampering flow rather than enhancing it. I'd be interested to learn what problem or feature request the current solution addresses. So: -1. Which isn't to say I don't appreciate the concept and effort. :) Counter-proposal, for when I hit "Mark All Forums Read": \nfor forum in fora:\n if forum.datemarked <= now:\n forum.datemarked = now\n ...that way, if I've marked a forum for 2030 (forum.datemarked = date(2030, 1, 1)), it won't be modified by "Mark All".

Why can't we search for an HTML string in Site Search? Nothing is found when I search for: [link\|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/board/markReadList?boardid=1\|http://z.iwethey.org...eadList?boardid=1] but I'm 99% sure it was used in the post I'm looking for. <stretching brain some more, ... Ah! Greg replied! ...> [link\|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=162370\|Here], in TWC. Cheers, Scott.
