I come back to so many unread posts that I am confused . How do I mark them as read so I do not have to go through each one to take them off my control panel ? ( you know under my user name and it says 25 unread posts since your last visit. thanks.

They will delete themselves from the unread list once you've read them unless something NEW was added to them by someone......
thus alerting you that IT is yet unread by you.

Doozerdoo,

Welcome aboard. Have fun exploring the site.

The number of unread posts is constantly changing. Today there were 64 unread for me...when I'm away for a while, it is not unusual to see over 100.

I use the hybrid mode to view posts, so I'm not sure which view you are using, but unread posts also appear in bold print. So, you can scan through those you already read to the bold (unread) ones--at least I can when viewed in hybrid mode.

Correction: the unread posts appear with a yellow box in front not in bold (the name of the poster is in bold). Gee, I'd have thought that I knew this site better from memory.
