There is no facility to exclude forums from the count (note: only forums that a member has permission to view are included).

Looks like I have the same question as what is being discussed. I have used the unread posts product for a while now and it works great. I installed Selective Forum Filter today at the request of my members. If my members go to unread posts the posts they don't want to see are not displayed in the listing, which is good, but they are still counted in the X unread posts number. If you can't see it, is it possible to have it not counted? If nothing is done they'll end up with a huge number of unread posts that they can't see. I'm wondering Is this is a reasonable request for this mod to not count what will not be displayed?

Is there a creative way for my users to get around this?

Publicly joinable groups that have no permissions to the forum?

Thank you for your time.
