When I click "Mark all posts in FOO as read", chances are I don't want to look at the FOO forum anymore. Should it take us back to the Home? Currently, it takes us back to FOO.

Maybe I've thought of another problem... I don't know how this works and to try it is too much hassle:

Say I enter the "Bug" forum, then I go AFK. Some minutes later, I start looking at the topics, finding nothing of interest, so I press the "mark as read" link. But what if someone posted a message on the minutes I was away from keyboard? In other words: does that link mark ALL messages in the forum as read, or only those that existed when the page loaded?

When you click the "Mark all as read" link, it marks all posts as read. So before you click it, perhaps you should refresh your browser if you've been AFK.
