Since we launched CorelDRAW.com, there was a recurring request to add the capability to mark all previous posts in the forums as read. We tried to get it done in various ways before, but none was working reliably. Until today. We just pushed a minor update to CorelDRAW.com with the capability to mark all messages posted in the forums as read. Simply go to http://coreldraw.com/forums/ and click on the "Mark all posts as read" link in the Shortcuts section in the upper right corner of the page. Please note that this is not reversible. You will still have access to all the messages previously posted, but they won't show up as unread in the forums.
In addition to this change, we are also starting to mark all messages as read when a new user account is created on CorelDRAW.com. This means that new members will only get indications of messages they have not read since they joined the community.
All the best from rainy Ottawa!
