    Default Forum Homepage Filtering

    Hi

    It is now very easy to select which categories you would like displayed on the homepage and exclude them from new/todays posts. To do so please follow these instructions;

    Goto your User CP

    Then Edit Options https://www.woodworkforums.com/profil...do=editoptions

    Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and you will see a new option named Forums to exclude from view:
    Attachment 116217

    You can hide a single forums by selecting the title:
    Attachment 116218

    Or to hide multiple forums, press and hold CTRL key while clicking on the forum titles:
    Attachment 116219

    You can also choose to hide a whole category by simply clicking the category. This example hides the timber category:
    Attachment 116220

    Using the above example, the sub forums for the Timber category will still show up in new/todays post searches. To ensure they don't, you will need to select each form title within the category:
    Attachment 116221

    Please post any questions here!

    regards
    Steve

    That is a very useful addition to the forum options Steven, thank you for that (it will also save the Admins a bit of work)

    One question, if you choose the to ignore one or more forums, does that also affect iSpy?

    Too easy! Thanks Steven!
    .
    I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.

    THanks Steve, great improvement, now I can eliminate most of the uninportant (to me anyway ) posts froom my list.

    However is there a limit to the number of sections you can elim inate as I cannot eliminate sections under Myother loves not woodwork.

    Thanks for pointing that out, it you can now nuke as many forums as you like

    Also an important point to remember is if you filter a category, you wont be able to view the sub-forum on the homepage even if that sub forum is set to visible.

    Cat <- filtered
    - sub1 <- filtered
    - sub2 <- visible
    - sub3 <- filtered

    Sub2 will be invisible on the homepage but still show in search results

    Cat <- visible
    - sub1 <- filtered
    - sub2 <- visible
    - sub3 <- filtered

    The category and sub2 will be visible on the homepage and continue to show in search results.

    regards
    Steve

    Like the others I have filtered out the areas of no interest to me.

    A welcome addition - thanks Steve

    Sorry to be a nunce, but I can't find or don't have the Forums to exclude from view option since the update. It used to be there and I applied filters. I would like to modify my selections....
