For the umpteenth time, I am in the middle of marking a whole

Is there an easy way to move it to one or other end of the
list??
For what you're trying to do, the easy way is to select all the
various threads and press "M." Bob's your uncle. No rodents
involved.
Paul, that might be easy if I wanted to "Mark as Read" all the
threads from, say, 1/1/2015 to 30/06/2015 and then from, say
01/09/2015 to 01/03/2017, but that's not how I catch up on old
threads.
I read all the threads with single digit posts, i.e. less than 10,
then all the threads with less than 20 posts, then less than 30
posts, etc., etc. Currently, I've read all threads with less than 60
posts. I've nearly caught up with re-marking those threads that I've
Read so the Unread number is currently approx 45,000 (was approx
38,000) out of total 174,000 posts!
So I don't think Bob would be much help a.t.t!
If you want to select a group of contiguous threads, click one end and
hold the Shift key down as you click the other end. If you want to
select several discontiguous threads, click one, hold the Ctrl key,
click another, continue holding the the Ctrl key, click another, etc.
Just like in Windows Explorer and many other applications. Having made
your selection, "M" will get them all.
I concur with WaltS48 that reading them should mark them as read,
assuming you haven't changed that default setting. On those rare
occasions where you want to mark as unread even after reading, press "M"
and you're done. Once again, no mouse required.
