Prevent forum from showing in new threads?

I know about this mod: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=91025

Which allows users to select which forums they don't want to see in the new threads page. However, I'm wondering if it's possible to do this from an admin side. I'd like to pick certain forums that won't be shown to users on the new threads page. This is for forums that are updated on a regular basis and is needless for others to see in the new thread page.

Anyone? Is this functionality already built into vBulletin and I'm just missing it somewhere?

Well I have a similar request before which seems to do the trick, simply add

Code:

&exclude={forumid}

to the New Posts and Get Daily

Example Link for New Posts

Code:

http://www.example.com/forum/search.php?do=getnew&exclude=1

You can add multiple forumid's simply by separating them by a Comma. Not sure if that will be suitable for you but thats the only suggestion I have for you. Hope that helps

sweet!

I'm going to give it a try.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Unfortunately, I don't think it works for this.

Here's what I've got:

I'm using vBTracker which requires that you create a forum for it to work out of. I'm using Tracker as a bug reporting set-up. I don't want the new or updated bug reports to show up in the new thread pages. I've added the code, as suggested, but it still shows the bug reports. I think it might be because they aren't really a thread per say.

I've asked the developers if they might be willing to make a change for this...we'll see.

However, I'm going to tag this thread for future use as I could see it coming in very handy in the future! Thanks again!

I can't see why that would change anything because all that is doing is restricting the forums it searches for new posts.

I've added it to all 3 areas (Posts from last day, posts from 2 days, and new posts) and it still shows....:(

Just visited your site and you need to remove the { } from the code, you have

Code:

&exclude={183}

When it should be just

Code:

&exclude=183

Hope that clears things up and sorry for the confusion.
