Block Off-Topic Forum From Showing On "New Post" Page

[ARPRDcom]

I have an off topic forum and I would like to block it on the whats new page but I do not want the forum blocked as I need it open to spiders.

Is there some code that can be added to not have a forum show new post on the whats new page ????

To exclude forums in the New Posts/What's New button, you may add "&exclude=xx" or "&exclude=xx,yy,zz" (separate the forumids by commas) to the end of the New Posts/What's New search.php url in the navbar template.... ie. "/forums/search.php?do=getnew&exclude=xx" (This occurs in a few places.)

Cool thanks that did the trick but you missed a & sign after the forum ID ...

Works now though so thanks for the help ...

did this change with 4.0.8?
I didn't have it setup before, but I'm thinking to now
is this the correct url?

/search.php?do=getnew&exclude=164&

forum id 164 id the one I want to exclude

thx

nvm, with a little google searching I found out how

search.php?do=getnew&contenttype=vBForum_Post&exclude=164,309,307
