I hesitated to ask this because I figure the answer is obvious, but I
haven't figured it out yet, so here goes!

When it says "Mark all reviews on this page.: Mark & Load" -- what
does that mean, and how does it affect the reviews?

Possibly related to that, why am I being told I have not read a
review? Do I have to mark it for it to count as being read?

Just want to make sure I do everything right!

Hi Linaewen,

When you mark a review you're telling the website that you are done
looking at it and don't want to see it when you look at reviews in the
future. When you go to look at reviews, the website's "default" is to
show only those reviews that you haven't marked before. (You can click a
"show marked reviews" link to see all the reviews.

When you click "mark & load", it marks all the reviews on that page, and
displays the next page of reviews.

And yes, an unmarked review is considered the same as an unread one.
Until you mark a review, the website doesn't remember that you looked at
it. It's kind of like saving a file after you've made changes - hitting
"mark & load" is like hitting save; if you close the window without
doing that the webpage won't remember that you read the reviews.

But marking a review doesn't affect anything about the review itself. It
doesn't change the review or give it more points or anything like that;
it just means the web page won't show it to you again unless it's
somehow edited (like if an admin goes in and adds square brackets to
mark off reviews), or if you tell the webpage to display the marked
reviews to you.

Does that answer your questions?

Yes, that clears things up wonderfully. Thank you!
