Are you imagining a page that lists all your forums with a checkbox beside them and users may check the ones they don't want in their search query? Then they can press a button to get the code to add to their browser bar?

No, I am unaware of such a mod. Seems like an awful lot of trouble to go to just for a few brain-dead people that probably wouldn't use it anyway.

investorsiraq.com has it, and the users love it.

I made a a hack that did that on my forum, but only a handful of members used it.

Where do you make this edit? This would be a smokin' add on with instructions :)

All communities are different, but thank you for your comment. Would you be willing to share your work?

I found this on vb.com. Super easy.....

The code uses an external database so that I don't modify the vBulletin database. It's more works this way but less problematic during upgrades. For this reason it's not something I'm willing to share or support.

As said, this needs to be a mod for users to be able to do.

One of the problems with allowing the members to exclude the forums they choose is that if they choose lets say a dozen forums, under the breadcrumb where is says "Excluded Forums" becomes very long. To do it right you would want to make the excluded links message a link.

Also some would only want the excluded forums from being displayed when doing a New Posts or Today's Posts and not when using Advanced Search. So to do it right becomes very complex.

Thanks for the code. Installed.
