Isn't anyone going to discuss the new intermediate "mark all" page (a list of forums, each with its own link to 'mark read to now' or 'mark read to 2030')? 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".
