Oops! I don't know what key I hit (to mark topics) forums

Not sure if I'm explaining this right but:

 

I usually see "new or unread" forum thread (topic) as bold black print so I can tell what I've read.

 

I accidentally hit a "side bar" item that was "mark all topics as read" I think because now all the topics are "grey" instead of black if new.

 

Any suggestions??? Help!!!  Ugh, I hate when I do things on the IPad I don't mean too!!!  This I was swiping and tapped it🙄🙄🙄😬😬😬

 

Thank you!!!

at the top of  your post, there is a pull down menu that says "topic options". Once you pull that menu down, you will see an option that says mark topic as new.  I think if you choose that one, once you read it, it will show as read

I've done that a couple times.  Aggravating.  It seemed like I couldn't "undo" it, but as I opened and read things, they would appear again as before.  Patience lol

            @homedecor1,  Once you've clicked/tapped on "Mark all posts in Community as Read" you can't really restore the system back to what you had before.    You have the option of  "Mark all posts in Community as New" or in each thread you can mark each one with all replies new or all replies read...  but that really isn't terribly helpful, either.    

 

            I think those 2 options under Quick Links are useless, can't imagine why anyone would want to use them, and there have been threads before asking if those could be removed.    I'm sorry you hit that by mistake, @homedecor1.   I know it's frustrating.
