Unread Posts

[smirkley]

I know this is a good feature, and I do like it. (you know, up there on the right top under my name when logged in)


But I have noticed that if I am gone a week or so, and come back and try to load the page, it just takes forever. This I have demonstrated to myself whenever the post count of "Unread Posts", is over a few hundred.

I suspect the server just has to do too big of a query to create this number to have a good page generation time.

For example, on a daily visit, xxx number of unread posts, decent page generation times.

If I am away for a week or so, xxxx unread posts, dozens of seconds page generation times.

And the first time I logged in this year, after a couple of years hiatus, days pageload times.


I know, who could stay away for years, let alone days.

But anyways, I know it isnt my inet connection, but I am wondering if there is a link that I can click right off, somewhere, that will mark all posts as read?

Thanks in advance.
