Can we get the ability to control where we see already-read posts?

So there's a button in your settings that you can click - "show read posts." If it's off, then you won't see posts you've already clicked on. Trouble is, in some cases you want to see already-read posts - notably, in your profile. As is, if you have the box unchecked and go to your profile, it will be empty. Any fix for this other than turning it on and off?
