Does anyone know a faster way of marking a whole forum as read than choosing "Forum Tools" > "Mark This Forum Read"?

Particularly when I am watching the Sale/Trade forums for particular items I tend to check them quite often, and I would save a lot of mouse clicks if there was a hotkey or a one click way to mark as read..

Any suggestions, or should I just be glad I have nothing worse in my life to complain about?

BR,

If you are logged in calling
http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f41/?do=markread should mark all sales forums as read.
Depending on the browser you might be able to add a add-on the has hotkeys to call URLs

^ What he said. The problem is probably that you're not logged in, or that you don't have cookies enabled.

Hm, that works well for each of the subforums separately, but not for f41. Thanks for the suggestion though. I think I will try writing a greasemonkey script to add some links/buttons to the /f41/ page.

If I manage to get something working I will post back.

D'oh.
While looking at the code for the page, I discovered that you can double-click the "There are new posts" icon

in front of the name of forum with unread items to mark the forum and its' contents read.

That is to say, exactly what I was looking for.

Hmm, sure you do not have javascript disabled somehow? Do you get the text when you hover the mouse over the button?

Its not a button for me, just a pic.
