Mark Category Read

Help please!

I've clicked the "Mark Category Read" tick by mistake and now every comp thread looks as though I've read it and I can't see any way of putting it back to "normal" ie the thread looks bold if you haven't read it and once you've read it the text turns a lighter colour.

Does anyone know how to get it back to the standard view please?

    If you've marked everything as read, I'm afraid there's no way of reversing that.

    As new comps and replies are posted, then thread titles will turn bold for you, but existing threads will stay in normal-weight text

    I've just done the same, don't ask me why.
    Like you I would have expected it to be reversable, but now we Know otherwise
    thanks to all posters

    I've changed my facebook username to NOBODY so when I enter FB comps I press the "Like" button it will say NOBODY likes this

    Glad it's not just me!  That and the "Skipped" button, I wish I could reverse that too  :D
