[Feature Request] Mark as Read Button on Post #399

Open DarkArc opened 1 month ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently, when scrolling through posts you have to go to the "More Actions" menu to access the "Mark as Read" option.

Describe the solution you'd like As someone that uses the "Hide Read Posts" (server side) option, I'd like to add the "Mark as Read" to the actions that are visible on the post itself (currently only moderation actions and the save button).

This would allow me to quickly "acknowledge" a post I've seen but I'm not interested with engaging with further (currently my options are to actually open the post or to open the "More Actions" menu and find the button; and it's just a little more friction than I'd like).

Describe alternatives you've considered It might be useful if you could just generally pick what action are in the "More Actions" menu vs on the post visibly.

What if I made right clicking on the title mark a post as read? I want to keep the action bar clutter free.

Hm, I think that might be a bit too subtle(?)

Maybe if you did something like you did for the "Click a pin to send it to the top of the sidebar. Right click a pinned item to remove it."

That way folks can choose the items that are most valuable to them to be shown? As an example, personally, moderation actions and saving a post are things I use very infrequently (so I don't need them there ... where as mark as read would be a very valuable button).
