    I find it annoying that after marking a forum read, I'm being redirected to the very same forum page. This behavior is contradictory to my intuition: I marked all threads read, so I don't have no business there anymore and want to return to the forums index.

    Just a few steps so that everyone can follow what I mean:
    1. Go to a forum where you have unread posts.
    2. Hover your mouse over the Forums entry in the Forums navigation bar (that one with the small triangle pointing down).
    3. Click on Mark Forums Read.
    4. A dialog opens. Leave the bullet at the current subforum and click on Mark Forums Read.

    What then happens: The current page is reloaded.
    What I would expect to happen: The browser returns to the forums index (that page that shows all categories and subforums)..


    I'd like to suggest a change in this behavior. I don't know if it's a simple settings change or does require some code modifications, but even in the latter case it should be easy to change.
