I have a question that is only partually related to the bot.

My users use the "new posts" link alot and during a switch of styles I had to re add that to the board. Well since then I have added this bot and my post count has more than trippled. This means when they click on the "new posts" link they will be getting all these posts in this one forum I have the bot in. Which so far is only people having fun and does not really offer any real info.

Is there a way I could limit the search of new posts to everything but this one forum? if so what is the easiest way to do this. I just prefer simple over complex.

You can exclude forums from the search, this is from a hack request I submitted a while ago...

/forums/search.php

find

$wheresql.=" AND thread.open<>10";

and replace with this

$wheresql.=" AND thread.open<>10 AND thread.forumid!=50 AND thread.forumid!=63 AND thread.forumid!=71";

There are two instances that need to be changed.
50, 63, 71 are the forum ID's to be excluded, just change to your Forum ID's
