How to block one forum from being in "What's New" and "New Posts" results?

[BonsaiNut]

Title says it all. I have one "off topic" forum on my site that I want to block from being included in the automatic search results that populate "what's new" tab in the navbar and "new posts" in the User CP.

I did this on my site when I was running 3.8 and now that I have upgraded to 4.1 I cannot for the life of me remember how I did it

I think you can modify the links to add "&exclude=21" or whatever the forumid is.

anyone? In 4.x do we need a mod to do this for us?

[nerbert]

Doesn't my earlier suggestion work? Maybe it should be "&exclude=21"
