User able to filter forums?

I had a member ask this today and I'm not sure...

Is it possible to filter which forums are listed when using the Unread Posts/Today's Posts/New Posts links?

Using vB 3.8.x

 

There maybe a modification for it, if not

1. Create a profile field
Forum ID's to exlude (seperate with comma's)
Description: Tell them how to find forum id's

2. In the navbar template (or whever the new posts link is) append to it (at the end)

Code:

<if condition="$profile[fieldX]">&exclude=$profile[fieldX]</if>

Save and test.

 

The above should work. I know for a fact that it will work with New Posts searches, but I'm not sure about the others.

How To Include / Exclude Forums From "New Posts"

 

Is that how you do it here, Nick?

I use the "New Posts" link all the time, and I have the vB Passionate Discussions hidden from view, and I never see those threads.

I know that forum is hidden completely from me (at my choice), but isn't that essentially what you'd like to do here?

 

Well I use another mod that allows you to hide selected forums and it acts as if they are not in existence.

I'm not sure exactly how it is accomplished, but it is - and that's all that matters to me.

 

Mind sharing the name and maybe a link to the mod please.
