Isn't it 'reset all' it says all like the reset beside each subject you have with posts waiting.. ? ie reset and they go to zero.. Just don't bother with the drop down.. just click like always on SubjectMarks or PeopleMarks and move your cursor away and it works the old way unless you move into the dropdown list.. I'm not necessarily a dropdown fan.. brutal on my smartphone trying to place a trade at the BMO site .. they just don't work properly with my Android.. .. I find it a bit distracting but lots of folks like Google Chrome.. tried.. and went back to FF.. Chrome just too fluffy and too few apps I cared about.. but I think the world is headed that way :O(

While I'm here I'll reiterate my objection to the drop down menus. They suck. On June 7, I sent the message below to SI suggesting a simple, obvious fix for the dropdown problem. It got 4 Recommends but thus far, no response from SI. It would be interesting to know why SI appears to be so firmly wed to the notion of the annoying dropdowns that they won't give us an option to eliminate them, particularly the SubjectMarks and PeopleMarks dropdowns.

A temporary fix could be to change the dropdown spacing so Reset All has 1.5 spacing above and below and/or right-justifying Reset All so there is almost no chance of inadvertently tapping it. Or, as recommended a few hundred times over the years, make Reset All 2 steps, with a Are you sure you want to Reset All? You could remove Reset All from the dropdown, so a user can only do it from the SubjectMarks page. I like this one best. Who needs to Reset All in a rush?

I agree with you - I HATE the drop down menus. SUCKS big time. I go to the bottom of the screen and click on the SubjectMarks down there, but probably hit the Copyright notice half the time. Close to impossible on a Droid or a mini-iPad. It is a royal pain in the butt. I can see trying to improve a site but this detracts and distracts from all the good things about SI. Please, Please, put it back to the way it was!!!
