Block forum from 'get new posts'
 

Is there any way to exclude a forum from the 'Get New Posts" link? is there a mod for this?

or would I have to edit search.php ?

To exclude forums in the New Posts button, you may add "&exclude=xx" or "&exclude=xx,yy,zz" (separate the forumids by commas) to the end of the New Posts url... ie. "/forums/search.php?do=getnew&exclude=xx" This would normally be in the navbar. I think it occurs in a couple of places there, so you will need to edit each of those urls.

Thank you!
