I would like to see this also...

Thanks.

turn off the vbseo.. then go to your forum to get the number id of that specific forum/forums you wish to exclude.. Then add them to your plugin and turn the vbseo back on.. works like a charm

You don't need to turn off vbseo, just go to the Forum Manager page and hover your cursor over the forum title, it will tell you the id in the status bar at the bottom of your browser.

Just tried it in vB4 and it sort of worked.

The issue is that the "getnew" now returns no new posts at all when there are some new posts.
Should we need to amend this plug-in code to include the conditional that is now part of the "New Posts" link in vB4?

do=getnew&contenttype=vBForum_Post

I tried putting the entire string 'getnew&contenttype=vBForum_Post' in to the plugin and it stopped working all together - i.e. it didn't exclude the forums.

I suspect that the & is breaking the code, but am not sure how to work around it.
