    So I am interested to know do you guys mark forums read on the forums you are on? I always use this feature on every forum I am on. Specially on AdminBB after I am done replying to all useful threads.

    Yes, I use it all the time, most frequently here due to the RSS feeds so if they are not of interest to me, I'll just mark the forum as read and move on.

    I don't, whether there are still new posts in there or not. I've always found that feature confusing and I always go through things manually anyway.

    I use it sometimes, but mostly just for the forum games section I don't feel like replying in. Otherwise I try to read every post distinctly to make sure all is well~

    I use it all the time, I'll look at the threads that look interesting then just mark the rest as read without even looking at them :P

    I will reply to what I have not replied to then if I know a fellow staff member has replied to the others will mark the section as read so I can track what has and has not been read.
