Feature Request - "Mark all as read" button

[jeffnoel (ghijkmnop)]

If this is an available feature, please enable it. All the blue dots are stressing me out.

One for the entire Community
One in each Category
One in each thread

Please and Thank you

There are a couple of things that you can do currently.

For the blue circles/ovals, you can click into the category, and there will be a Dismiss button under the list.

---

If you want to remove the ones that pop up on your profile, you can do it from there, but if you don’t see that, here is another way:

In your profile, in the notifications tab (the one that isn’t under preferences), looks like there is a “Dismiss All” button on the far right (last tab in second row).

… Nothing for the whole community that I know of though, and agree that might be a good button to have when we are feeling overwhelmed.

I find that I never reach the bottom of a category or tag, because as I scroll down more posts populate. How does one reach that Dismiss button?

I see this…

below this post, but no dismiss button…

Hey George,

Good question. I realize that what I was doing is probably different from what you were doing. I was clicking on the notification of the new things in that category rather than going to the category itself, so for instance, I was going to this URL:

https://community.spiceworks.com/c/spiceworks-support/34/l/new

I think probably if you do what I did, or maybe if you mess with the URL, you can get to the page that doesn’t have eternal scroll because it is only a list of the new things.

@Suzanne-Spiceworks

if you mess with the URL

Yep - add “/l/new” to the end of a category URL and you can see the actual new posts and dismiss them. I’m not sure if that works for tags…

Thanks for testing that.

While I appreciate the effort, what I’m asking for is a way to get rid of all the dots WITHOUT having to click into every single category and post that has them-- like pretty much all other forum software does.

Oddly enough, while searching whether this is actually possible, it appears I’m not alone.
