To hide, you need to go to usergroups and there you need to enable to selected usergroup(s) that they can exclude forums. After that, they can exclude them from searching in What's new and also, there's option that they could use and exclude it from forumhome too if they want it.

Edit the exclude_whatsnew template

Change - <select class="primary" id="sel_excludewn" name="excludewn[]" multiple="multiple" tabindex="1" size="19">

The bit in bold :P

I installed this mod on one of my systems running VB 4.1.11, and it works flawlessy. However, no such luck with 4.2.0. There is no entry in the usergroup search permissions page, and clicking on "general settings" in the (any user) UserCP returns a server error.

Help! This mod is exactly what I need for my forum. I looked over the source, but I'm not familiar enough with the internal workings of VB 4.2 to even know where to start looking for the problem.

Nevermind. I uninstalled the product, then re-installed and all seems to be well now. Works great, and it's just what I was after, thanks!

Maybe I'm just an idiot. But now that I've got this mod installed, how do I hide a particular forum from New/What's-New?

A problem - I have this working on 4.2, at least so far as hiding forums from forum home is concerned. However, highlighting a forum in general settings to hide from the 'What's New' section doesn't want to work. The drop down box is there, and it's possible to highlight and save - but the latest posts from the selected forum remain.
