    nfusz how do we mark this as read?

    Thanks for letting us know, there is not a "mark as read" button or feature, once visiting the blog it should give you credit. Understanding that it is not working as intended, we are investigating. Thanks…

    I'm guessing you're working on 'Plugged In'. I would've thought that just opening the blog post would be sufficient, though it doesn't seem to work for me either.
