Great mod, thanks for this, seems to be working 100% on vb 3.8.5

Is there any chance you could update this to include vbadvanced, for example if someone has excluded forums with this hack then the same forums will not show up on the Recent Threads block on vbadvanced home page?

Thanks.

Anyway to make certain forums and subforums unavailable from the exclude list? For example I don't want members opting out of receiving new posts in sponsor forums etc

Thanks!
EDIT silly me it's possible under Forum Permissions!

Can someone give me the query to change all rights to opt-out to "yes" for all usergroups and forums? Otherwise it will take me hours to change them for all usergroups and forums :s
