Ignore threads/forums on search.php

[David]

We all have threads and forums we don't read, and personally I was sick of seeing them on new posts so did some searching and came across this mod ; http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=272375

summed up in 2 quotes, it does;


I settled for a system that marked selected threads and forums as read just before the search so they don't show in New Posts. It does not change Today's Posts or the listings in the forums.


But anyway here's what I have: You can use Thread Tools to add threads to your Thread Ignore list and Forum Tools to add forums. You can unignore either in Thread or Forum Tools or deselect them in Settings (User CP)


[4:31:25 PM] David: any chance of this lol ? http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=272375

Thoughts? Probably won't get installed but worth a try.

Sounds like a good plugin, probably best if I wouldn't use it due to moderation but I would in any other capacity value this :)

[Kardan]

Why not? If people don't wish to use it, then they can just carry on like normal. I'd support this :)

[RyRy]

Would be nice not having to sift through threads you really can't be bothered about.

[Chris]

Sounds like a good idea, I'm for it!

[Mr-Trainor]

I think this sounds like a good idea :D. I never use New Posts because of all the threads I don't care about :P.

[scottish]

sounds good, although you can do that already if you remember the url/bookmark it :P

for example will remove forum #124 which is something to do with habbo

This would be able to remove specific threads from New Posts, which I don't think can be done right now...

Correct, and it does work as &include and &exclude is built into vBulletin search afaik.

However it definitely does work as I tested it before posting :P

makes sense now. would be easier with the forum doing it for you anyway, and like kardan said that way cant remove threads?

[scottish]

Oh, specific threads yeah it won't remove that just forums.

[xxMATTGxx]

I'll see what this is like on the test forum later on today (Sunday) and see if it's any good.

The template changes weren't liked by vBulletin so it's on hold at the moment.

oh :( can the mastermind jin fix it Chippiewill;

[Samantha]

Sounds like a good idea but I probably wouldnt use it as a thread could be posted in a forum you don't usually go in yet you could answer/reply and help the op etc. however, I do think it will come in handy for some.

[mrwoooooooo]

pointless feature, you're wasting the admins time to be honest with **** features only 5people would actually use

[Chippiewill]

Apparently I'm not allowed near the templates until I finish V7

I'd use it to get rid of PWYLT off of the new posts

so you'd hide one thread? does it really bother you that much seeing it there?

[Chippiewill]

Yes. It aggravates me that such a terrible thread gets such a high proportion of the entire forum's posts and that the number of posts suddenly LEAPS because it gets post counting again.

[David]

when you do can you also fix the image resizer on "habboxed"

[scottish]

Is there any update on this

p.s mods this isn't breaking the rules as "Do not pointlessly bump old threads. You may only bump threads if your post is relevant and something that can generate more discussion. What is and isn't pointless is up to the moderators discretion and is final." this is relevant and can generate more discussion into the future of its implementation

[Chippiewill]

Skybus could probably fix the templates.

[scottish]

Skynus; get working

[Chris]

We'll get it tested over the weekend.

[David]

you're a good man skynus
