Feature Request: Mark as Read menu option
It can take a very long time to work through a day's-worth of notifications after I've finished a shift, or been offline for other reasons. It would be very useful if we could mark posts as 'Read' from the menu in the loop view. That way, we could open the loop and work down the posts, marking the ones we aren't interested-in as 'Read'.
Yes, you can do this from Notifications, but the truncated post title in the notification -- and especially all those annoying posts that don't have a title at all -- means that to know what the post is about, you have to open every single one. You can, of course, preview them in Loop view, but you still have to open them to mark them as read, even if you don't want to read them.
Incidentally, this is even more needed for the Android app, where 'Mark as read' functionality is sub-par (it often doesn't detect that you have read something, particularly if you have opened it from a notification alert).
While you're at, it would be helpful (on occasions) to reverse this, ie mark a thread as 'un-read'. This particularly applies when you accidentally brush 'Mark all as read' in the app, which I have done a couple of times!
I've mocked-up a couple of menus to give some ideas. The icons are fa-book and fa-book-alt, although you might know better ones to use.
