    My question was "How do I mark the forum as "read"?
    I didn't notice the little dots after the words "New Post" at the end of the green bar underneath the page title.

    And after I posted this reply, I still don't see the dots. Sometimes they're there, sometimes they're not.

    Yesterday the dots were there, and today they're not... :(

    "Mark Forums Read" is usual the first option. The dots will only show up if the menu is not fitting in the bar due to a lower screen resolution.

    Correct.

    Here's an example.

    Hmmm. The above screen shot is exactly what I have as I write this post, and my screen resolution is 1920 x 1080, and it's maximized.

    BTW I'm running Firefox 63.0.3 with NoScript, but I just tried running FF without NoScript and I get the same problem.

    no dots because Mark Forums Read is first

    Same computer, same resolution, same XenFaro forum software as MajorGeeks is using

    You'll note the 2 dots because Mark Forums Read is not showing. (that Your Activity link doesn't always appear). I don't know the reason. I just know that if I don't see Mark Forums read, I have to click the 3 dots to get additional menu items.

    When I switch to my netbook with a higher resolution, Mark Forums Read shows first at both places.

    @pldr
    Thank you for your explanation. Sorry for the delay in my answer to you. I tried reducing the window size and you are absolutely right! I don't know why I didn't notice that before... :oops:
