Marking individual threads as read

[TitanJeff]

I'd like to be able to check threads as I would to merge or delete and simply mark them as read. I've not found a way to do this and it would make moderating quite a bit easier. Any way to do this I'm missing? Thanks.

Bump.

You mean mark it read for all users, right? There are a few different options for thread marking and I'm not sure I completely understand the details any of them, but I think if you're using one of the database options you might be able to write a record into the database for each user (which I guess might be a bad idea if you have thousands of users). If you are using "Cookie Based" then you probably can't do it (although in that case I guess you don't need to).

It looks like the function mark_thread_read() in functions_bigthree.php does the work, but I'm not sure if you can call it for other users. It mostly looks like you can except for some reason it calls set_bbarray_cookie() even if you are passing a different userid.

Sorry but I meant individual users.

Example: Moderator needs to read a number of messages. Some of them are rss feeds which require no moderation so can be skipped. I'd like to be able to mark those and then go to a "marked as read" option.

I've never used it, but there's one here: Mark Thread as Read.

mark thread read turned it up right away in a "Titles Only" "All Mods" search.

Outstanding! I must have been using the wrong words to search. Thanks.
