Mark Forums Read

[ColinJ]

On my tablet, 'Mark Forums Read' used to be the leftmost option to appear under 'Forums'. That option seems to have been moved and replaced by a redundant 'Search Forums' option. We already have a search box on the right and do not need an extra way of doing it! I keep trying to mark and ending up with a search instead ...

Any chance of putting it back to how it was before? If not, then scrap the search box and replace that with the marking option.

An option to use an embedded Google search of the forums would be nice, suggesting alternatives for misspellings, search with wildcards etc.

Still there on my laptop, try scolling across
Search forums is the 2nd item on that toolbar after 'Mark Forums Read'

Still there on mine too Colin, you must be doing it wrong

I'm with Colin on this. Move it back please

Still as is on my smartphone.

Edit : d'oh.

 

[mjr]

Still is on my phone too. There is no search box, so I need the link.

Missing, as in its not there, the Search Box on here and PC.

It appears there momentarily on mine, then shifts to the far right under the... Option.

Apologies for size...

Guessing it is a landscape or portrait orientation issue. I'm using portrait on my tablet.

I installed an add-on last night that appears to have added an unwanted menu item; I'll sort it later when I'm finished at ballet.

Cheers,
Shaun

Pay Attention at the back!

I know the responsive design moves stuff about and tucks some away in a sub-menu but it isn't doing today what it has been doing for months.

Yes, it looks different on laptops. I am using my laptop now and all is as it was before. I'm charging my tablet, but I'll go and check ...

Oh, Shaun has got in there first ... Thanks, Shaun!

I know it is only a small thing, but I use Mark Forums Read a lot so it was annoying having to go to the sub-menu every time, and that was usually after accidentally clicking Search!

Yeah, but you probably have a fancy high resolution one - mine only has a 1280 x 800 screen. Actually, so does my laptop but I think I set the tablet to use a larger font because everything was too small for me to read without my glasses on.

I'm even more grumpy now ... It is horribly grey, cold and wet here today so no cycling for me. My sister has dumped a soggy Border Terrier and an ailing laptop on me and has cleared off to Ikea in Leeds with my nephew!

I had instructions to entertain the dog and fix the laptop but I got confused and tried fixing the dog and entertaining the laptop! The dog got snappy and the laptop failed to laugh at even one of my jokes ...

The dog is now asleep and f*rting every 5 minutes. The laptop is playing silly buggers ... corrupt file after an automatic update - run chkdsk. Chkdsk won't run unless I reboot. I reboot and chkdsk fails with an unknown error - aaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!

Apart from that, it is a laugh a minute here at the ColinJ homestead!

System Restore,.................................................. might even stop the dog f*rting

System Restore is demanding that I run Chkdsk first - I am going round in circles!
