While I agree with what you are saying here, if that's the stance you plan to take, you may want to explicitly state in the first post here that "this mod only provides a confirmation dialog when users click the 'Mark Forums Read' link on Forum Home, and nowhere else."

Because otherwise, one would assume the functionality is extended to every instance of "Mark Forums Read." Why would it not, from a UI standpoint? Why would one "Mark Forums Read" command differ from another?

Clearly there's a desire for consistency with this enhancement. It can be confusing if it works as expected in one place but not another -- especially when it comes to this sort of command where data (read/unread markers) is about to be effectively lost. That's the point of this mod, to give some security and warning back.

And so, as annoying as it may be that folks have begun to "run with" your mod and add stuff and then complain about bugs, I'd look at it as a compliment. Folks really like what you've started here! And so, may I respectfully request that you enhance this a tiny bit to work globally? Pretty please?

I tried changing it to global_complete and it did not work for me. I'd previously changed the other instances of the "Mark All Forums Read" command to call on the Javascript, but changing the plugin as suggested still didn't bring up the Confirmation dialog.

Still, regardless of what happens with this mod, I want to thank Dismounted for stepping up to the bat and offerring this up. vBulletin has needed this for a long while, and no one else cared to share. So, thanks, Dismounted!
