I think you're out of luck; I'm pretty sure it's irreversible.

i dont know how this feature makes sense. Marking any thread read is implicit on reading the thread.

| Yes, but perhaps not everyone is interested in reading every topic, and doesn't want them to show up as unread. It makes it easier to keep track of new threads. I use it regularly on other forums.

I use it periodically here when threads start claiming to have new posts - with a last post date several years ago...

Polls, for example, tend to show up with "new posts" on many forums even if you have read the thread and voted.
