It works. You need to configure it.

Also, for the list to appear, you need to edit and save any one of your forums with the forum manager.

just a suggestion -- it would be great if some sort of title like "New Posts Filter" was added, so users know what it is. It just comes up in the "miscellaneous options" box and says "to select multiple forums...etc." A user coming across this wouldn't have any idea what it is.

Has anyone done a mod they'd care to share that adds a title and some more detailed instructions?

ETA: I just noticed my install doesn't match the screenshot. The tile "forums to exclude from view" and the first paragraph below it are missing. Any idea how to fix this?

:( Not working on my board.
I have a feeling that a current mod "Opt Out of New Posts from select forums" which is placed right beneath it is conflicting with it.

They both show up in my Edit Options; but when this mod is enabled, both mod's selection lists don't show my forum list.

When the other one is disabled & this one enabled, this mod still doesn't show the Forum List (even after running the SQL Script).

BUT, If I disable this one & leave the other enabled, they both show full forum list of selections.

Wierd.
Any possible recommendations?
I uninstalled it for now but will reinstall if I can get a working solution to my issue.

This mod is very useful & would work wonders for my users!

Oops I posted this in the 3.5 thread by mistake... :o

Great work Psionic Vision :)

Is it possible you could create a very slight variation of this hack so I could use a url to exclude certain forums form the forum index? Eg:

http://vbulletin.com/forum/index.php?&exclude=10,28,12

Which would then exclude forums 10, 28, and 12 from showing on the forum home/index page.

That would be a HUGE help, please please please consider it :)

Edit: Meant to say so it's not permanent, just that those forum IDs will not show when that particular url/link is followed. So if someone goes back to the forum home via the normal http://vbulletin.com/forum/index.php they will all show.

okay. before i ran the query, i was going to manually exclude them all.. but opted not to do that since i have over 100 forums...
when i ran the script, i went to check to see if it worked... but it only showed the forums i manually selected...

what i had to do, was reverse the exclusion and uninstall the hack then reinstall the hack and rerun the query... and it works perfect..

installed!!!

Thank you, Psionic Vision !
Very useful hack.

Has anyone been able to integrate this into vBISpy?

Excellent, installed. This is a must have for any political site lol.
