vb.org Archive - View Single Post - Excluding a users posts from "new posts" search

hinch · #1 08-21-2007, 08:52 AM

I've setup an RSS feed bot that makes posts in 2 forum sections with general news from news websites and also games industry news from selected sources.

one thing thats annoying me and my users about it though is that when you click the "new posts" button all posts made by the bot in those 2 forum sections show up meaning its hard to see at a glance new posts made by the specific users.

I've tried turning off post indexing in the search engine on those 2 forums however the posts are still appearing in the new posts search.

Is there any way to exclude this specific users posts from the new posts page so it just shows posts made by users and not by the rss bot?
