Unread Forums

[Sylar]

Do you get annoyed when you see unread forums on a site? Maybe you have the urge to go and read each and every post? Perhaps you press the "Mark all forums read button"? Or do you just ignore it and post where you want, when you want?

I never seen the need for the "Mark all forums read" button, it doesn't annoy me to have a few posts laying around that haven't been read.. usually they're threads in which I have no interest in or just some random package threads.

I do... I read pretty much every post on my forum excluding a select few. I honestly cannot stand unread forum icons on my forum...makes me feel like I'm missing something O_O

But surely if you hit the "mark forum read" button, then you are missing something?

I use the button on forums like the "Boxed Promotion" section. CBF to read 100 topics saying "Join my forum!"

I tend to have favourite boards in most of the forums I visit daily and I try to read all the new posts over those boards. But if couldn't come online for one or more days, I will simply click on the mark all read button.

I just tend to go to the latest content and view every thread through there. It is much easier so I can see if the thread would actually pique my interest.
