Exclude Forums in New Posts

[Nick.]

Hi,

I've noticed this come up a few times around the forum, about how annoying it is when clicking the "New Posts" button, and to see sometimes several threads from the Spam section, Runescape section and other sections in which some users are not interested. For example, someone who doesn't use Runescape and Habbo, it's annoying for them to see threads on the subjects.

I've found that there is a plugin to allow exclusion of forums in the new posts section which users can choose under their Options in User CP



I think this would be a great idea to implement. I know HabboxForum aren't keen on plugins, but I think this would be a great idea!

If you have that many forums to "check" then just click new posts.

I see no point in this.

I only really use the 'New Post' button, so this could be helpful.
Also, for the non-habbo users.

Yeah. It could also help forum mods if they just want a quick look at all new posts in the categories they moderate.

You wouldn't have to use it, would you?
If it did get installed you could just ignore it like the others who may not like the idea.

Of course but there is already several ways to view new posts, why add yet another? Specially when its another plugin which could be a risk.

Who knows!

I actually think it's a really good idea well i'd use it anyway. I hardly ever think any ideas posted in this forum are overally good but I do like this one.

Why would such a popular forum use it then? (eg. MacRumors?)
