Ability To Clear Stars From The Subscribed Forum List (Whineing)

Bit of an odd one this...
Seeing as my access has generally been restricted to Net Cafe's, I've rigged my preferences to accomodate a LOT of subscribed forums, and generally ONLY visit those. Now, I log in and check for the ones with that nice little star at the side and think, "WHEY, looks like there's activity HERE, I think I'll check it and maybe I'll make a post or two" and it's generally one or two threads that I'd really take any interest to. Now, say I've finished that, or created my own threads and am eager to see what people will say, I leave said forum and browse around the others, but of course that DAMN little star will NOT go away despite the fact that I've visited the forum because certain other uninteresting threads haven't been checked by myself, and even then, just posting to a relatively dead forum will cause a star to appear and won't go away, despite the fact that I was the one who posted there and no-body has even visited.

Basically, in short, I'm hoping that there could be an option which would allow one to 'clear' the stars from their subscribed forum list so that when new posts / threads are created they'd be easily detected and can be visited... After all, they've been subscribed to for a reason, and it never helps when that handy little list gets congested by immortal stars created through the birth of your own threads / posts...

They just DON'T seem to go away unless you log out and back in with which it'll basically put a star next to the ones that have been posted to since you've logged out, but I doubt anyone would want to log out just to get a clearer view of their subscribed forums list.

This isn't anything major really, just thought I'd post about it seeing as it's been causing a miniscule itch in my boards.ie scrotum from time to time, especially now that my access has been limited to short net cafe visits whenever I'm in town.

Any suggestions!?

That itch may bother you for a while longer

Damnit - Ah well...
Was just a selfish idea :cool:

Have you tried clicking the 'Mark this forum as read' link under the 'New thread' icon on the forum display page.

There's something somewhere to mark all forums read too I think.

To be perfectly honest I never knew it even existed - But if it does what I think it does, then it'll be absolutely perfect...

Thanks for pointing that out.
Another smack on the forehead for me.
