Not bad ideas, Thomas, but I don't think I can spare the developer hours on this now. Curious... why a mark all read feature?

Occasionally there's some kind of a blip in the DB, and a thread I've read all of will "forget" that I've read all of it. Then every time I click on that thread, instead of bringing me to the last page, it just brings me to the first, or the second, third, etc.
Not a big deal for short-lived threads, but when it happens to long-running threads like the Mass-climbers, it kind of sucks.

There's one on the Main Forum page, and one on each Forum Main page
see bottom of :
http://www.rockclimbing.com/...in/forum/gforum.cgi?
http://www.rockclimbing.com/...gforum.cgi?forum=23;
It's a nice feature : when I come back, only the newest threads or threads with new posts show up. After having opened and read the few threads I'm interested in, I would like to "mark all read".
If I don't disconnect my web acccess between two visits on the site, I'll have the same threads marked as new (except the ones I read) + the new ones, won't I? Or only the real new ones? I guess the former.

It would be one way to indicate lack of interest in those threads. There actually need to be better mechanisms throughout the site to give users better ability to ignore threads they're not interested in. I've implemented one such mechanism in Tweaks: a permanent ignore feature for the My Topics page. It solves the problem of having a popular thread that you once posted to, but have lost interest in, from continually appearing at the top of your My Topics page.
What would be nice would be to have an ignore button on every page of every thread, and another next to every topic on every forum's index page, which once clicked, would prevent the topic from appearing anywhere on the site, including the forum's index page, the front page, and the My Topics and Recent Posts pages; and which would also prevent a "new post" icon from appearing on the main forum index page or the individual forum's index page when a new post has been made to an ignored thread. (I think that is the longest sentence I've ever written.)

This is actually a bug we're currently working on. In fact, I think I'll go check progress now.
