Same here glatt.

One alternative strategy I use is to use the Today's Posts option several times in rapid succession. I click it, check out a thread or two or three of the ones that interest me that bubble to the top, then repeat the Today's Posts option. If there are any threads of interest still above the "The threads below have not been updates since..." line, I check them out and when I return, I look again for any remaining wheat above that line. If there are none, including threads like this that are of little (but apparently not zero) interest to me in bold, I then choose "Mark Forums Read". Then, all those itches are scratched at once.
