(Ironically enough it works fine in my custom skin, in the QuickLinks pulldown, and all the other spots.)

Yeah, since I discovered the code mod wasn't working there I removed it and put it back to the "original" way. I also moved the "Mark Forums Read" to a different position of the QuickLinks menu, so it would be less likely to be selected by user mistake.
The confirmation mod DOES work properly in the QuickLinks pulldown of my other (customized) skin... at least, when I am in forumhome. (The confirmation dialog doesn't seem to pop up when I choose it from UserCP, or Threadview, or Search. But even with that, the menu command still works, just no confirmation dialog.) It didn't work in vBulletin at all.
Why is there no way to get it to work as desired in the the QuickLinks pulldown? Why can it work (somewhat, ie: in forumhome, but not elsewhere) in one skin... but not in vB skin at all? I tried making a seperate "Mark Forums Read" link in navbar template, and noticed the same weirdness. The confirmation dialog only appears when accessing it from forumhome.
Just wondering, trying to learn.
Would it make sense to introduce this confirmation dialog into the "do=markread" command instead? That way it'd be universal to it's invocation everywhere. Make a preference option in UserCP so visitors could choose whether or not they get the Confirmation dialog... and I'd nominate this for MOTM.
Test it further, kemosabe. It works on your forumhome's QuickLink menu only... but NOT when you try it from anywhere else (ie: inside a forum, a thread, UserCP, etc.)
I just checked on your forum (macfora.com) and see it doesn't work. In fact, choosing the command from those other places does nothing on your forum... it breaks the menu item completely.

That's funny, because I never thought to check those. I only checked forumhome. And you're correct, it no worky on those other pages.
One other thang. When clicking forum icons to "mark this forum and contents as read", you should get a confirmation box for that too, no? I gotta uninstall until this gets fixed.
