I have about 3 different internal forms I don't want to show up through this. I don't see a way to exclude certain forums from showing up on my page using this.
Is there something I can do to 'exclude' certain forums?
And, if so, how exactly? I am not much of a whiz with php... but I can follow directions quite well!
If you look in the .txt doc that is in the archive when you unzip it... there is a ton of options and such in there with instructions on how to turn off certain forums from showing, etc...
I just don't know how vBulletin 'numbers' the forums, so I did a hunt and peck to find the ones I wanted!

Ah, that I knew hehe. At the moment I've got it setup to display stuff from forums that I've listed. However, I have a lot of forum sections and they can change from time to time so I have a long list like 1, 3, 4, 5, 11, 13...etc etc that I need to update once in a while.
What I was looking for was a way to set it to output from all forums except the ones I'd specified. So lets say sections 2, 3 and 4 were private forums. I'd want to be able to just set it to do all forums except those. Couldn't find a way to do that though.
The problem I am having with this is that on firefox if the thread name is extremely long it does not take up a second line instead it stay on one line and expands the box I put it in distorting my entire home page.
I was looking for a way to constrain the number of characters in the thread name it shows.
