Question:

***
Is it possible to set certain forums to DEFAULT as opted-out (excluded), but have it so enabled usergroup still has option to opt-IN that forum/s??
***


I want my RSS news forums opted-out/excluded BY DEFAULT... but be ABLE to have users still be able to ADD/OPT-IN if they want to.
(Right now, as far as I can tell, its only possible to do the reverse, is that correct?)

otherwise, relatively few users will ever opt-out even though they were probably prefer to....simply cause most people are lazy or don't realize they can (or just don't bother to customize), imo.

(I like to my default settings play to majority and let "customizers" do their thing. Not have news feeds in the New Posts is much better for most, imo :))

bump? :) :nervous:

This is not too usable for end users, so I don't think anyone will do that.

The permission system doesnt propagate down the forum permissions, ex: if you set do not exclude forums at the top of a forum section, all forums will receive "do not exclude" even if you change individual forums under that section to "allow exclude"

is there a way to fix this, as it is, if you have a very large forum setting each individual subforum under that section is extremely time consuming and imo. not worth the efforts.

Additionally when you add this feature it clashes with the new post reporting option in such a way that you see "no. of new posts" but when you click on it the search returns nothing.

This hack is not very useful in its current form (uninstall)

That must be a hack? Because I don't have anywhere on my site that shows a number of new posts. If that's the case, then your hack will need to be modified to take into account opt'ed out forums.

It is a hack and probably this one.

The permission is Can exclude Forums from "Get New Posts".
If you set this to No for a Category, but Yes for subforums of this category, the category will not show up in the listbox - that's correct and actaully working as designed.
vBulletin search behaves the same way - set "Can search Forum" for a category to No, but Yes for subforums - it will not be shown on the search form.
Or set "Can View"=No for a category but Yes for subforums - the category will not be shown on Forumhome, etc.
