Is there a way to dismiss all unread posts on the forum? If there is, I haven’t found it.

If there isn’t: please add one.

you have the dismiss all button there when you’re on new or unread posts view

I’m not seeing that, perhaps because I’m using an iPad. Instructions starting from the forum homepage https://forum.snapmaker.com please.

Hi, the homepage is currently set to “Categories.”
The “Dismiss All” button appears only on the “Topics” page(without any filter).

Users can set their own default view in preferences.
(An admin change would apply globally, so I’ll hold off and see if others request this too.)

My Preferences > Interface is set up the same as in your screenshot.

My Topics page defaults to Latest and I don’t know how to unfilter it. Clicking any of the other options just switches the filter. Clicking Latest refreshes the page with Latest still set.

I am convinced this is an iOS thing, I will try in a “proper” browser later.

Nope, I’m not seeing it in Firefox on Linux Mint either. What am I doing wrong? How do I get an unfiltered list?? There is a gap in understanding somewhere.

I can’t see that either @Zoe_M are you using a windows machine as I’m on Mac as well, checked in prefs to see if it’s the same?

could be that I also don’t know what I’m doing though :joy:

I think you need to click the “Topics” on the left again from the current page.

This time, no filter “latest” will be selected.

I’m using windows. Let me check with Mac OS.

Here are the screenshots on the iPad:

Hmmmm, I don’t have any unread topics at the moment so that doesn’t help - I’ll see what happens when I pop back laters, most likely just a simple settings change needed

Yes, but how did you turn off the “Latest” filter? I can’t work out how to do that.

Why can’t the “Dismiss All” button be available regardless of what filter is active??

I’m tempted to call this a bug.

OK can confirm at least at my end when I press the topics top left I do indeed get a dismiss all button

If any filter(Latest or My post) is selected now, I just click the “Topics” button on the left again, then it removes the selected filter.

That doesn’t work for me on iOS, nor on Firefox (Linux).

What’s your outcome?

hey, it’s also working on iOS for me (vivaldi browser), but you need to click the three dashes, then choose topics (that has the unread count) then you’ll have a dismiss all

on macos it shows on the top as the first screenshot i shared

That clicking the topic button top left gives me a dismiss all button

Not for me, I’ve tried everything I can think of. Safari and DuckDuckGo.

I’m using an iPad (not a phone), so the screen layout is different, but even with the window reduced to narrow (like a phone) to get the hamburger button I still don’t get a “Dismiss All” even when I scroll all the way down a very, very long list of topics.

:enraged_face:

check if you have this on your navigation settings preference

it kind of looks like it’s something on your end, as this forum is based on discourse, and they all pretty much work the same way
