Is being able to mark a post as unread one of them? I’d really find that useful.

Actually, yes!
You can defer a topic which will set the last previously read to unread. So for this category setting deferred for me sets my unread to 1.
Here is how to do it on mobile (when I get to the office I will do the desktop version):
Click “Topic Controls”:
Click “Defer”:

On desktop they are taken out of the dropdown.
But you are right, defer is missing.

Is defer maybe only active for administrators?
I looked at my other account (shhh don’t tell anyone), and it doesn’t have the defer option.
So I did a bit of quick digging, looks like the defer button is theme controlled:

What are you using then? Because I am using On Brand
And it isn’t admin controlled by default, so I can’t turn a switch on for everyone.
So to enable it:
-
Go to your user interface preferences: ClassicPress Forums
-
Under the “Other” Section enable the defer option:
That was an interesting little thing!

I like it
Sorry
It does make me curious what other features I use all the time that users don’t know exist! Because I use the defer all the time when I want to come back to a thread.
