This is great, however, on my forums it still adds the excluded thread to the total number of new posts....does this happen for anyone else?

any way to exclude it from adding to the new post count?

Hey.. I used it .. it works great. but now my "show last 10 searches" doesn't work anymore. what's up?

Thanks, that last bit worked. Any way that someone could merge this with the other topic?

has anyone found a way to exclude it from the post count as well?

do u mean in welcome panel?

I know this is an old thread but I just wanted to say

Thank you Logician :) hope you are enjoying you vacation!

Thanks.. As a matter of fact, I've recently returned back and fighting with compiled mails.. :)

Very useful! I installed it a few months back and it's working fine in restricting but suddenly the member group I had setup to be able to see the full search now has been restricted as well and I can't figure out why. I must have a made a change to something somewhere that has affected this hack.

Sigh.

how exactly did you apply the hack to that member group in your code? I'd suspect that section of your code be the culprit.

Thanks for your reply. I've restored search.php to the original so I can't show you that section of the code. I'm going to try redoing the whole thing and see if it works.
