Undo "Mark All Viewed"?

Haloo

I accidentally hit "Mark All Viewed" and it has grayed threads I haven't read. Is there a way to Undo this? Also, what is the purpose of this "feature"?  Thanks!

Verna

The purpose is to get rid of the highlighting of the threads you haven't read.

Sorry, there are no re-do's--once you hit the "Mark All Viewed" you can't get the highlighting back.

Thanks Verna. Kinda weird though. But I'm getting used to logging out then back in via Google so the Categories menu shows up again. So I can handle having all the threads grayed out until someone posts again.   

I love the ambiance of this forum. Hope to have our 400 by the end of October!

@Haloo well that's a pain in the patooty. Does the same thing happen with safari?

Haloo

Yep. I'm using Safari on an iPad Pro set to Always Allow Cookies. At least I figured out how to sign in. I have to go through Google. The forum sign in doesn't work for me. If the categories don't appear, I log out and sign in again using Google, and the Categories show up again.

While I was trying to figure out how to get signed in I touched “Mark All Viewed.”  Now threads are grayed until someone posts something new on them. But, at least I can get signed in now, and the grayed threads are readable. 

You folks are worth the hassle though.
