Selective forum filter reinstated

Danny Stewart · #1 June 18, 2007, 2:42 AM

Some of you may remember a feature the forums used to have a long time ago -- the selective forum filter. This feature has now been reinstated. With this feature, you can go to your User CP and under the Edit Options page you will be presented with a list of forums. You can select as many forums as you like, and those you select will be excluded from view and posts from those forums will not show up under New Posts or anywhere on the site. This way, you can pick and choose the forums that interest you, and exclude yourself from forums you have no interest in or do not want to be a part of. Hopefully this feature will make things on the forums run a little smoother.

Also, on a totally random side note, I have now added ~~strikeout~~ BB code to the forums. Use:


			
[strike]text[/strike]

for strikeout text.

Danny was ~~stupidly naive~~ incredibly generous giving me my own forum.

Something got reversed there. I'm not sure whether it was what you struck out or the order in which you typed it, but something is definitely off.

EDIT: Ha, you fixed it. Much better.

Go back to bed, nothing to see here

Waiting for the backup of the forums' SQL database to finish. Taking much longer than expected. The download is at 135 MB and still downloading! Sheesh, you guys post a lot.

EDIT: Download complete. Final file size: 142 MB. That's a lot of posts! But it's bed time for me now.
