What do you use those two things for though? After you read a topic it automatically gets marked as read, and it seems easier to just click on "show posts since last visit" when you first arrive, which shows everything that has been posted since the last time you were here, even if you didn't mark things as read.
I've never used the "Mark All" on the main page, but I frequently find myself using the "Mark All Topics Read" whenever a new user blazes through all of our miscellaneous polls. :)
Is there some sort of automatic Mark * Read in effect? I've noticed on a couple of occasions, if I rock up and read through a couple of threads, but get distracted and come back to finish them off later on, all the ones that were new for my last visit are no longer marked, so then I have to go by the timestamps.

There is, in all phpBB2 forums I've ever visited (including Keen: Modding).
