 ==== Marking a Folder as Read ====
+Keeping up with a busy forum like this one could be a full-time job! Remember, no one expects you to read **all** of the threads in every folder.
+If there is a particular folder (aka section of the forum) that you're not interested in, you can mark all messages in that folder as read very easily, by doing the following:
+  - Click on the TheLitforum.com logo at the top of the page to go to the list of folders.
+  - Each folder that contains unread messages will have a black circle to the left of its name, as shown below.
+  - To mark ALL messages in that folder as read, simply click the black circle, and it will turn gray.
+Note: If you click the black circle by accident, there's no way to undo it.

+You can also mark an entire section or folder as read from the list of threads.
+When you've read everything you're interested in, simply click the "Mark this forum read" button at the top of the page, just below the "Post Reply" button.

+This will mark all messages in the current section or folder as read.
