"Mark as read" doesn't work as I'd expect. #77

Not sure if related to #69

I'd expect "Mark as read" to mark as if I'd read up to the final post in the thread at the time of clicking. This doesn't seem to actually happen.

Setup: 1) Thread has 25 posts, you read them - thread is marked read up to post 25 2) 5 more posts are made - revisiting the thread takes you to post 25 (because of (1)), reading marks as read up to post 30. 3) 45 more posts are made for a total of 75, thread is selected and "Mark as read" clicked without reading them. 4) 25 more posts are made for a total of 100.

Thread is then selected.

Expected behaviour: Taken to post 75 as a result of (3) above Apparent behaviour: Taken to post 30 as if "mark as read" in (3) hadn't happened

In my experience, "Mark As Read" doesn't change which post you have read up to, it just gets the thread out of the unread topics area. I don't know how that works but I'm okay with it either way.

Addendum - given the fact that on a couple of threads the last post read has been rather long - I'd expect to be directed to the first unread post, not the last read post. So:

Expected behaviour: Taken to post 76 as a result of (3) above
