So the new system is a step in the wrong direction.
When viewing the forum, double click the little bicycle icon on the left of the forum. That's all that is needed to mark all threads inside as read.
Don't you prefer being able to jump right away to the first unread message in a thread by just clicking on the little arrow icon before the thread's name? It's so convenient. This was lost when the forum used to mark all threads read by itself.
Plus you couldn't tell which forums had new posts in threads without having to figure out when was the last time you were here and compare that to the date of the threads. That was really annoying.
