Make the 'Mark All As Read' confirmation prompt optional

Suddenly clicking Mark All As Read pops up an extra unnecessary confirmation box.

It would be nice to be able to turn that off, as it is annoying.

    Can this be closed now? I need my votes back! :)

    Couldn't agree more. I use Mark as Read a LOT, really need a way to get rid of the constant prompting. Let me say once for the record, YES, I am really sure.

    It's annoying and breaks my workflow.

    Yes definitely an option to stop the confirmation button please - other than that (except for update rates which is fund related) this app is very good

    Frustrating and annoying, an extra click. Make it an option in the settings.

    An alternative would be to have an "Undo" command appear after clicking Mark All As Read (an idea used to good effect by Gmail) but I appreciate that's a lot harder to engineer.

    The idea a confirmation should be asked, is good. So is the idea that this pop-up should be optional. I've never found myself clicking the "Mark All Read" button by mistake, and I would love not to have the additional click of the confirmation to do. A simple toggle setting through the "Settings" menu to decide whether to have it ON or OFF should have been the way to go, not the enforcing of an additional pop-up across the board.

    @roman: Some people do not read every post -- they look through the headlines and pick the ones they want to read.

    I find the confirmation appropriate. Marking all as read is a dangerous irreversible operation, just like "Unsubscribe" is, and it should have a confirmation.

    If you use "Mark All As Read" often, you are doing something wrong. Just unsubscribe from the feeds you are not reading, what's the point of being subscribed and hitting the "Mark All As Read" regularly?

    Why is there no setting to disable this, that is shocking UI design!

  • Richie Hindle commented  ·   ·  Report

    This prompt is very jarring, especially given how smoothly and unobtrusively the rest of the UI works. Please rethink it.

    Yes, this action can not be confirmed. A please, place this button to bottom area too.

  • Nighty commented  ·   ·  Report

    How did this idea even get off the drawing-board?

  • ceedee commented  ·   ·  Report

    I'm another person who'd really appreciate an opt-out from the confirmation.

  • Eddie commented  ·   ·  Report

    Oh yes! Definitelly want this!
