Uhm yes, Mark All Read works, but that really shouldn't be necessary. You might not be totally done reading all new threads, even if you think you are. And what happens if someone posts right as you click the Mark All Read? Is that post marked as read too, so you'll miss it? I'll consider "Mark All Read" a workaround. A temporary solution. And I hope eventually the mere action of reading the post will trigger the star fading to grey. Just as it does on any other PHP-based forum I know of...
