1. Not sure. I just did it too, and it looks like it marks as grey the

threads that are not new since you were last on the page.

Edit: they are the ones with no new posts since you were last on the topic page.

2. The help feature is, well, helpful.

What do "Mark" and "Mark All" do?

The "Mark" function helps you keep track of which posts are new. When you click "Mark" in a particular forum, all of the posts in that forum will get marked with a white icon, like this: . Any messages that are posted in that forum after you click "Mark" will be marked with a gold icon, like this: .

The "Mark All" icon marks messages in every forum.

Note: In order to use the "Mark" function you need to have the function turned on in your preferences. Click on "Options" then click "Edit your preferences" (or just click here). Under the section "Use MARK time stamp feature?" Select "yes" and then click the "Update" button.

Now that you have 'marked all', every message that comes in from this point will look different - and so you'll know they are new. I don't see a way to 'unmark all'.

3. Re: I don't see a way to 'unmark all'.

If you wanted to "unmark all" or "undo it" as the OP states, seems like you could just edit your preferences as you suggest and change the "Use MARK time stamp feature?" from "yes" to "no." I don't know. I've never used this feature myself, but it seems like that should work to "undo it."

4. I don't see a way to undo it either but I don't see a problem with that.

Just changes the color of existing icon thingies.
