As a test try it from the homepage, I think it might only work from there.

I've found the mark forums read has not worked as described too. Same with mark all read links elsewhere.

You can tell from the target of the link that it's going to be hash/time based (e.g. index.php?hash=e9ec91e5&mark=forums&mark_time=1496645392 ) so any new posts since then will probably still be unread after you hit the link.

The forum software, even though newer than webwiz of the old forum, is still pretty ancient and doesn't show a live view of everything.
So this is by design. Without it, you'd mark as read new posts that you didn't know about due the stale nature of the page you were originally viewing.

Random waffle is generally posted by a small number of people. Try adding them to your foe list, then you won't have to put up with it :)

Fear not, they are not foes, just prone to prattle, it's like white noise, humanity can't help but make it.... :D
