Not sure I understand
Plus, I was referring to the ability to mark an individual forum area as read
But I do see what you're talking about w bubble and still blue text on the main forum homepage.
Volvo/Penta was Bold and Blue on the main page w a blue bubble to the left
Opened that sub-forum, there were several unread topics, w titles in bold and blue
Clicked Mark Channel Read
All the topic titles changed to unbolded black
Back to the main forum page
Volvo/Penta bubble unbolded and black (so marked as read)
BUT although the title was unbolded, it was still blue. Kind of half and half marked unread....
That whole area was marked as read, sort of....
Did you mean ALL the motor sub-forums, ALL at once?
