On other forums there has been a button "Mark as Read" which changes the "unread" to "read" marker on a message, thread or indeed the whole forum. Can such a button be added? I appreciate the "Introductions" thread keeps the site clean of spammers etc, but as a mere user of the sim I don't need to read this thread and some others.

I was hoping that someone would have given a response to this, or at-least an option to stop getting selected threads bumped to the top of the "latest posts" box for Forum when someone replies!

I didn't notice the original post, though was away from home on a dodgy internet connection that weekend. There is a Mantis ticket for this already so it's on the list.

Not quite sure I understand that one. You want latest posts to show the latest posts except some? Which ones?

When I've read the latest threads I just click the 'Refresh' button in my browser to show them all as read.

1: Oh excellent! I've not thought to snoop on Mantis. Cheers Geoff!

2: For example, like when you turn off notifications for ap ost on FB - you turn off "new notificiations" for a thread. That way, it stops showing up "NEW" next to it's name whenever someone replies!

I think it'd be better just to have a "mark all as read" button.
Then you have a reference point for new threads, you can read the ones that interest you and then mark then rest as read.
