I know that after the https switch there will be bumps that will smooth out eventually on the site.

Please keep me updated if this behavior reverts and always do try to make sure https links are used and browser info is nuked when trying to fix the issue.

My scenario is the same as pandaperth, except I was always using the https links in my attempts.

Even after refreshing the page, the posts were still not marked as read.

Tonight though, it seems to be working again.
Edit: I closed that browser tab. A few hours later, I opened a new one and came to FT again. Now it's not working again.

I know you asked this of goalie, but I can tell you my experience, which is
  • I click on the "mark this forum read" pulldown from the forum tools item on the ribbon
  • The forum tools options disappear
  • And nothing happens to the "unread' threads on screen, as you know their thread titles should change from bold (=unread) to normal (=read)
    (I have waited for up to 60secs for the response, in case it was just a comms problem, but...)
Exactly what happens with me

Way ahead of you in trying this and still not working

I believe i have identified the problem.

"Mark This Forum Read" does not work when you don't have a "secure" connection, i.e. when the URL does not begin with HTTPS.
When it is just HTTP, this function doesn't work.
So if you are accessing forums from bookmarks, make sure they include the https.

Goalie, Can you please make sure you are on a https page rather than http when trying to "mark this forum read"

You mean like this? (or am I missing something?)

Edited to add: fwiw, it does appear to be working now (and for now?)

It is the fix. We have a fw small glitches related to the fact that sometimes people are going to http and sometimes they go to https. If you go to https, this issue will not happen. Be sure to change your bookmarks so that you log into https and you're good.

Totally confused by your post-

The link I posted IS what I'm using (and have been using for some time) so unless I'm missing something, I am using https and no need to change anything

Oh I was confused -- I thought you had said earlier you were using https and were still seeing this error.

Nevermind!
