The "mark forums read" button seems to mark all forums as read, which I do not find all that useful.  What happened to marking a single forum as read?

Agreed. I often have the time to read some of the forums and would like to mark only the ones I had read.

It's still possible to mark a single forum as read. Just head to the forum list and click on the icon to the left of the forum. That will mark all of the messages inside of that forum to read.

Ohh that's not very intuitive but I should of tried the hover over on the icon.

Thanks Jude!

I wanted to do this and I did figure out the above action, but I do not find it ideal.  It requires that you go "up one level" to the list of forums, which requires loading a whole new page, sometimes with a bit of a wait.
I have bookmarks for direct access to my favourite forums and would prefer to be able to "mark this forum read" from within the forum page.
 
I will experiment and see if I can save a bookmark with the hover code ".../forum.php?id=6&action=markforumread", to execute it.

Well, that worked, although it left a blank page on the browser.  I saved a bookmark for a forum icon (with the green "unread" tick mark) to the Firefox button bar.  That certainly seems to send the correct command to the server.
