Is there any way to tell the board to mark all threads within a given forum as being read (as in vB 2.x), instead marking the whole CIC Forums?
 
Click the "Forum tools" link, to the right of the screen just above the thread listings. One of the menu options in the little JS window thingy is "Mark Forum Read" (or something like that).
 
I can´t access the "Currently active users" page, says I don´t have permission. Has anyone blocked the access?
