    Description

      When a user is tracking a forum so that they get notified about unread posts we show them the number of unread posts and a link to mark all of the posts as read when they view the forum.

      However the number of unread posts is a link to view the first of the unread posts and the link to mark all posts as read is right next to it. Both links are very small. It would be very easy to accidentally click on one rather than the other (particularly on a mobile device).

      One suggestion would be to move the link to mark all of the posts as read into the action menu at the end of the row. This should prevent users accidentally clicking it.

      Will need to coordinate with the UX team here too.
