I've only just noticed the 'mark forum read' button, not sure how long it has been there.
I noticed it because I accidentally clicked on it. Is there an 'undo' function to match? It should at least have an 'are you sure?' pop up.

Where is this button, I've been looking for such a thing ever since the forum was updated?
Disagree about the confirmation pop-up, would just annoy the 99.99% of users who pressed it intentionally.0 -

Hi
I've also wondered about the buttons being easy to accidentally click. An undo function is not possible, and a confirmation for both buttons might be frustrating.
But
I think it might be a very quick tweak add in the in-browser confirmation for just the "Mark Forum Read" link if members think this would be helpful?

I would find it helpful. Out of interest, how long has the option been there and is it only visible on groups that are in your "followed content" list?I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.
