I searched and searched to see if something had been updated, or whether there was a setting that I had accidentally tweaked, but I couldn't find anything.

Hovering a mouse over a story in the feed window used to mark it as read. It made it really easy to 'clear' stuff. That doesn't happen anymore, and I have to scroll down (or click) to mark a story as read.

I'm hoping that I've missed something really obvious.....?
