Dunno if it matters, but this button no longer works for me. I mean, it still *says* it's marked them all as read, but as soon as the forum list refreshes, nothing actually has been marked as read. I've tried logging out, deleting cookies, etc.

Same with me. Been like that for months now. I sent a PM to AGD2, Navynuke and Erpy about it but got no response. It only fails on the board index, though. And doesn't actually return a message at all after you do it. Just gives a link back to the index. Mark Threads As Read works within each forum separately, though, but that gets annoying.

Very true.

On another note, I realized that I've been registered here for over six years and still have less than 100 posts.

My Mark All Read has always worked and still does. Might be something to do with your cookies.

On the board index?

EDIT: Nope. I just tried it on my Wii and it doesn't work there either.

I guess no one's interested in fixing the board functionality. Ah, well.

This is a common problem with many custom themes being converted over to phpBB 3.0. The Mark All Posts link simply refreshes the index page and does nothing. An admin needs to access index.php and replace this:

Code: Select all

   'U_MARK_FORUMS'      => ($user->data['is_registered'] || $config['load_anon_lastread']) ? append_sid("{$agdiforums_root_path}index.$phpEx", 'hash=' . generate_link_hash('global') . '&f=' . $root_data['forum_id'] . '&mark=forums') : '',
with this

Code: Select all

 'U_MARK_FORUMS'      => ($user->data['is_registered'] || $config['load_anon_lastread']) ? append_sid("{$agdiforums_root_path}", 'hash=' . generate_link_hash('global') . '&mark=forums') : '',
That should work although I haven't tested it myself as I use SMF but it seemed to work for a number of people who had similar problems. Although another way is to update the forum firmware to the latest version.
