New Keep up the good work Scott
I, for one, appreciate the efforts you have invested in this forum.

While I understand Andrew's complaint, and I agree with him, I too, have hit the Mark All Forum Read button by mistake and am willing to "suffer" with the confirmation instead of trying to figure out what I marked read by mistake.

I also like the ability to "hide" forums that I never read with the "Mark Read Until" feature. Best thing ever. Of course imnsho.

Carry on...

New No one admires his efforts and skill more than I do
I can't understand how he could build a perfect UI for a forum and then kludge it that way. It's like a Rembrandt with a stick figure in the corner.

Of course as a programmer I doubt Scott has many equals. I imagine all the people who built Windows NT were individually great programmers. So how did the collective effort turn out so badly?

One word, committees. The best software is usually the creation of one or two people without demands other than their own desire to solve the problem.
