I added a link on the myidkfa navigation bar that is a shortcut to mark everything on idkfa as "read."
I understand that while some people may want to stay current, or have a convenient and novel mechanism to read things, but for others it's just an annoyance. For the latter, this button is for you.
As a happy medium, if you click on "more", there's an option to mark as read everything that's older than 1 week.
