Description

Original issue 884 created by convincedd on 2012-01-09T14:30:26.000Z:

*move unread count it out of header toogle *make clicking on it marking them as read. that is a little tricky since hts postback(mrk) only does that for the forum left. so we'd need to remove count ourselfs on some change

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing forum unread count feature in the codebase. Look for the header toggle that currently displays the count. Identify the HTML and JavaScript files that handle the forum unread logic. Investigate how the count is updated and how marking posts as read is currently handled (e.g., the mrk postback). Plan to separate the count display from the toggle and add a click handler to mark all as read, possibly by removing the count locally after user interaction.
