Would it be possible to get a "Mark Forums Read" on the "What's New?" page? That way we (ok, I) wouldn't have to go back to the Forum to click on it.

On that note can we get the "Mark Forums Read" button at the top, as well as the bottom, of the Forum index?

There is a "Mark Forums Read" link on the right side of the blue gray navbar on the "New Posts" page that shows the latest posts to anyone who is logged in.

So there is! Thanks for pointing it out. Makes things easier...
