Turn on read tracking for all existing users?

I would like my users to use forum tracking to keep track of unread forum posts - our new default dashboard will also feature the "my unread forum posts" block.


However, im running into a few problems here:

  • Even if i change the default setting for user profiles to have forum tracking enabled, this will not change the setting for existing users
  • Even if i set the default setting for all new forums to have forced read tracking, this will
    • not change the setting of existing forums
    • not change the setting of new announcement forums in new courses


The last part is especially annoying - what's the point of even having an option to make forum tracking the default setting, if it does not apply to the one forum that all courses use?
