Is the second or third time that on mobile for mistake I press the button "mark all as read". There were 3 pages with unread topics :( What do you think about the idea to add a confirm first window?
If I'm not wrong there was a mod for this on smf.

Liked, saw that I have it installed on my own forum, it works, posting the link: http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?action=parse;mod=3786;attach=224880;smf_version=2.0.10 WTFPL license, code by margarett.
Nuff said. ;D

P.S.: Cut off some fingers, your hands are too big, LOL.

I thought it was there... O_o

Oh well, there is to add the confirmation string to a javascript variable and add some confirm all around the globe. ;D
BTW, while writing this I realized: why don't we add a wrapper around confirm? In the future it may be the place to store some nicer interface for the function. Opinions?

It could either be browser-related or styled along with the forum. To be honest either way is fine, but I think that in 1.1 or something this might look "better" if it's styled ;) So yeah, go with the wrapper.

Don't forget ♥  :D

I tried, but I was not able to get it working... even on a simple textarea. LOL

Temporarily code it the easier way to push it in a release (maybe?), and retry after you get some sleep :)

Are there any news on this?  Sorry if I insist, but from mobile it's very easy to press that button by mistake and mark all as read, just happened today and I had 3 pages of unread messages.

I thought it was added a while ago...

If you want a quick workaround for your site, open script_elk.js (themes/default/scripts) and replace the markboardreadButton function with:

function markboardreadButton(btn)
{
	if (!confirm('Are you sure you want to mark all the messages in this board as read?'))
		return false;

	toggleButtonAJAX(btn);

	// Remove all the "new" icons next to the topics subjects
	$('.new_posts').remove();

	return false;
}

ad the markallreadButton with:

function markallreadButton(btn)
{
	if (!confirm('Are you sure you want to mark messages all as read?'))
		return false;

	toggleButtonAJAX(btn);

	// Remove all the "new" icons next to the topics subjects
	$('.new_posts').remove();

	// Turn the board icon class to off
	$('.board_icon').each(function() {
		$(this).removeClass('on_board on2_board').addClass('off_board');
	});

	$('.board_new_posts').removeClass('board_new_posts');

	return false;
}

Of course you can customize the message. ;)

I'll try this later, thank you Emanuele.

Thank you Emanuele, it works ;)

I suggest we make it default in ElkArte core. It is always good to confirm.

Where I usually press the "Mark all as read" is in "New Posts" (index.php?action=unread)
I suggest to also add the confirmation message for  markunreadButton function

function markunreadButton(btn)
{
	if (!confirm('Are you sure .....?'))
		return false;
	toggleHeaderAJAX(btn, 'main_content_section');

	return false;
}
