Not a problem but a question...

If you use the "return" links - "Return to __ forum" (below the post reply button) or " ^ Board Index" (in bottom "nav" bar) everything that you've read should be reflected by the time you get there. If you don't read everything, you'll still have to click the "Mark All..." manually.

I think I just talked myself into seconding your request...!
