[REQUEST] Show unread posts in selected forums

Post by tomh_cz » Fri Sep 16, 2005 4:54 pm

Hi,

I'm interested in Joomla third party development and some other things about Joomla and I want to easily check new submissions
not to ALL forums as now with upper link 'Show unread posts since last visit' but only to my favourite forums/subforums..

That link is nearly unusable cos' there are a lot of things every hour from e.g. International Zone forums completely mixed with other post about my points of interest.

If i could select in my profile which forums I prefer and which not, it will be great.

Is this possible in this forum or can someone do this in future?

Thanks :-\
Tomas Hanzelka

Click on this image next to the board in question:

Or, use a URL like the following:

http://forum.joomla.org/index.php?actio ... ,5,6,7,8,9

Where the numbers correspond to those boards which you are interested in.

I was going to ask the same question, since it would be really nice to be able to filter all the non-English-language forums out of my "Unread posts" results.  I guess the best solution would be a hard-coded link bookmarked in my browser with all the IDs of the English-language forums, and using the bookmark instead of the "Show unread posts" link.  Hmm.  I guess that's ok... will be a pain to go through and get the board ID numbers for all the boards I want into the URL... and then if new boards are added here, they won't be in my results until I happen to notice and then hard-code them in.  Better than nothing though. Thanks.

That is not what I'm talking about, by image you can read only new submissions from one forum, not more..
And URL is not working...

That URL works for me, but it was just an example.  You'll want to use the ids of the boards you want.

Talk about an "ignore boards" feature was done in another topic.
