vb.org Archive - View Single Post - Changing $getnewpost and $getnewthread variable (exclude forums)

That's going to get complicated.

Are you trying to make these forums invisible, or only make it possible for users to search for new topics but exclude certain forums?

I could see a cool hack out of this (but the index thing sounds too hard).

-modify search.php to look in a new user profile field "view_new_posts_ignored" and explode(",", $bbuserinfo['view_new_posts_ignored']); or something to get an array of forumids they want ignored.

-modify forumdisplay template to have a "exclude this forum from searches" button. Clicking the button takes you to the user_cp with &ignoreforumid=XX in the URL.

-modify usercp to recognize the ignoreforumid and paste/append it into the "View New Posts Ignored" user profile field.

Is this out of left field?
