so it would look like this?

PHP Code:

with the forum id being 8

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->GPC['exclude'] .= ((!$vbulletin->GPC['exclude']) ? $vbulletin->userinfo['excludeforumsgnp'] : ',' . $vbulletin->userinfo['excludeforumsgnp']) . ',8';

Yeah, it only kicks in if the user has defined custom excludes as well.
If you want it to be always active, undo the edit and place

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->GPC['exclude'] .= ',8';

I said below the }, not below the {
Furthermore, why are you editing the XML?
This won't have any effect (at least as long as you don't reimport it)

[dsotmoon]

or this

PHP Code:

{
    $vbulletin->GPC['exclude'] .= ',8'; ((!$vbulletin->GPC['exclude']) ? $vbulletin->userinfo['excludeforumsgnp'] : ',' . $vbulletin->userinfo['excludeforumsgnp']);
