Installed on mousepad.mouseplanet.com (4.1.2). Settings appear but do not seem to have any effect.

Unless I'm missing something?

I allowed the 'Can Exclude Forum from "What's New"?' permission to each usergroup, then went to my own Settings page and selected a forum to exclude. I click the "What's New" button and still see posts from that forum. Is there something else I need to do?

Is there a way to prevent certain forums from being excluded?

I found the problem, at least on my system. In the AdminCP, under Plugins & Products -> Plugin Manager -> Product : Exclude Forums from What's New you will see four plugins for this product. One of them, which hooks "search_start", is disabled. I enabled it. Now the forum I selected to exclude does not appear in search results.

I'd still like to know if there is a way to deny excluding certain forums (e.g. FAQ, announcements, etc).

Can anyone confirm if this works? Going to try it.

Anyone able to get this mod to work?

Poorly documented ...

Been looking for forum selection box (one with clickable forum name options) for an hour and can't find it ...

Judging from other comments, it may be a useless exercise anyway as it doesn't seem to work, even if I find it ..

Regards,
Doug

Update: Still never found the one settings box, but did find the one under forum permissions ...

Set it to "Yes", but it wouldn't retain the value .... :down:

Un-installed mod ...

Regards,
Doug
