"mark as unread"
Would be helpful (I think, anyway) if there were a way to mark either an individual post, or a post and its entire subthread, as "unread" (i.e. re-establish the LRPD for an individual post or (sub)thread). That way, I could slog through the "lightweight" threads when I have a quick break int he action, save the more "weighty" threads for later, and still get the all-too-important new LRPDs as they occur.
Waddya think?

I do this all the time...
What's wrong with simply not hitting the "Mark Forum Read" link?

Well...
...as stated in my post...I read some of the postings, and defer some for later. Given that there are hundreds of posts submitted each day, the resulting bookkeeping task is much better left to a ... computer ... than to my rather faulty recollection.
Gee, isn't that what computers are for?!?

Until the next version is out, you could use a place-holder
It's not an ideal solution, but it's something...
Pick a thread that you're interested in but don't have time to read and respond to yet. Post a reply - even a NT reply. It'll show up in [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/user?userid=56|your] list of posts. When you've got time, click on [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/user?userid=56|your] login, select the post, edit it or just go back to the thread and read and/or post.
By doing that, you can mark everything read and still go back to threads that you had some interest in. I think Ross and Box have used this technique.
Of course, you do have to pick the threads in advance, but you'd have to do something similar with your suggested technique as well.
HTH.
Cheers,
Scott.

Cut-n-paste a mark read link, then edit to an earlier time.
Or like this:
http://z.iwethey.org/forums/actions/forum/markForumRead?forumid=3&markstamp=2006-01-12+12%3a00%3a32-05
http://z.iwethey.org/forums/actions/forum/markForumRead?forumid=3&markstamp=2006-01-12+11%3a00%3a32-05
or:
[link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/actions/forum/markForumRead?forumid=3&markstamp=2006-01-12+12%3a00%3a32-05|Mark Read]

Thanx!
I'm to assume that the 'forumid=n' defines the forum to be so marked? If so , do you have a list of the forum IDs?

Can't be done on this codebase
But it's a planned feature for the next one.
