Ahhh, it's probably still telling it to pull threads from that forum because of the forum permissions. That code you added in would tell it not to look in that forum, but the part for the forum permissions would tell it to look in that forum, so I guess the permissions are canceling that part out. If you look for this line of code instead:

PHP Code:

$forums=$DB_site->query('SELECT * FROM forum WHERE displayorder<>0 AND active=1 ORDER BY parentid,displayorder'); 


Right before ORDER BY in that query, add AND forumid!=XX. If you wanted to exclude more than one forum, you would just add the AND forumid!=XX again right after the first one.
