Exclude forums by style choice?
 

I know this probably is not possible (I certainly couldn't figure out how to do it), but it can't hurt to ask.

I want to create a "simple" version of my forum for people who aren't as computer inclined, and I want to exclude certain off-topic forums from showing up on forum home when this style is selected.

Is there any way to do this?

Edit the styles templates and use a template conditional around the section that displays a forum like
Where X is the forum Id of the forum you want to hide.
Most likely would want to edit the forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost template somewhere. Not sure exactly what code you need to wrap in the conditional but thats the gist of how you could do it.
