UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 6 V5.php Modifications Mark All Read (works in 5.2-5.4.3 at least)

Attached is a file that contains a routine to Mark All Read. This was a Perl hack we had and since we converted to PHP (much faster!) we have converted the hack as well. Instructions for installation (very simple) are in the file.

Here is what it does (pulled right out of the comments in the file). The user will see these instructions formatted.

// What does Mark All Read do? (from our user instructions below)
// It will mark all messages in every forum as having been read. This will remove
// the new flags for all threads in every forum.
// Any new messages, from this point forward, will still have the new
// flag until you use Mark All Read again.
// Why would I want to use Mark All Read?
// If you don't go into every board, you will always see the new
// flags on every forum. If you find this annoying, use Mark All Read which basically
// acts like you read every message all at once. Then you can easily see new
// messages when they are posted as they'll stand out like a sore paw.
// Can I get the new flags back?
// New messages will still be flagged as new. Only new messages at the time you
// pressed Mark All Read will have their new flags turned off.

Installation instructions are in the file. It's easy.
