'Show confirmation on marking all stories read' setting not respected

I don’t have any use for the ‘mark all stories as read’ button, and have it set to ‘show confirmation’ when clicked. Unfortunately, while looking for something else, I clicked the button and it marked all stories as read under a folder without asking for confirmation first :smiling_face_with_tear:

Image shows the button I pressed and the setting that I would expect to apply to it, just in case they’re unrelated.

Time to go through all my feeds and mark unread again…

Side note: I would love to turn off this button on the UI entirely via a setting!

Thanks!

It only applies to the All Site Stories folder. Right now, I am going to expand it to three options:

  1. Folders only

  2. Folders and feeds

  3. No confirmation at all, which is going to be the default in your case

If you want to hide the button entirely, you can do that with custom CSS. (Manage > Account > Custom CSS):

.NB-feedbar-mark-feed-read-container {
display: none;
}

Thanks very much! :star:

I just pushed a fix that expands the preference to three options:

- Show confirmation when marking feeds or folders as read

- Show confirmation only when marking folders as read

- Mark as read without confirmation

This now covers all forms of marking as read: the button, the time-based options (1d, 3d, 7d, 14d), and the Shift+A keyboard shortcut. The confirmation itself is now an inline prompt in the feedbar rather than a full modal.

This is now deployed.
