Sandbox

Is there a way to ignore certain forums? I only use the Dutch one of the international forums. The other international forums just clutter my view when I look at "Show unread posts since last visit" or just scroll own through the forums.

Yes, this could be quite helpful! For those who like to answer questions in the areas they frequent, it would clear out all the information that didn't apply to what their knowledge is strong in. Good idea sc00zy.

Thanks... I allready found that option though :-X

I came across a mod for SMF: http://mods.simplemachines.org/index.php?mod=137
If installed you can select the boards to ignore in you profile.

I agree this would be a useful addition.

I've forwarded your find to our Forum Team Leader.

Ok, thanks

Agree, that would be really useful. 

I also guess it would be usefull and also that our friends at SMF would help Brad if he has probs.

Ok, I'll make this a priority.. however the mod linked to above does not appear to support the version we are running... but leave it to me.. I will see what the SMF devs come up with.

Thanks Brad nice to hear btw you are doing a great job here keep it up.

Thanks Brad But it needs no hurry though

I was just going to ask for this when I found this thread.  Thanks for looking into it.

I echo that ........ but I solved it by subscribing to the RSS feed for the forums i was intrestred in ...... though adding each feed is a pain in the neck.......... and the drawback is you cant post ...... directly from it....... so this should solve the problem......

Any news on this?
I'm regretting responding to a number of posts as the clutter in my "show new replies" makes finding threads quickly a nightmare.
Serves me right!
But, it would be soooo nice to be able to set some forums to "ignore".

The mod is still not compatible with the version of SMF we run here.

Too Bad even I am kinda finding it annoying ....... someone had posted a manual solution somewhere using the URL .....cant find it.... when i find it I'll post it here

k, I'm looking for this as well. Let it be known its of no priority in my book, but its something that I'd like to see. 

I always check for unread post whenever i come to this site.  Most of the unread post are from the international zone, but I don't know any other languages, so it make it difficult to sort through.

It isn't a huge problem, but when using the search you have to excude a bunch of forums on the tickboxes.

To check for unread posts in selected forums, read through this thread and take a look at the link I put there: http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic ... l#msg41186

To see only the English Forums ......... It was a headache.... but i did it at last

sweet bluesaze, I'll use that until its built-in.  thanks

Now we have only six pages of posts to catch up with. This forum is just too busy!

Good job Blue, well done. 

Just a note.
I have exculded a few forums like reaction to the community letter. Please check the board number and add them to the list of numbers. If any other english forums are missign please add them and let me know

Maybe someone can make an userscript for the GreaseMonkey extension for Mozilla Firefox?

Too bad it still isn't compatible with SMF 1.1
Sometimes the list of new posts is very cluttered with foreign posts. Let's hope it's being further developed.

Yip.. I have been keeping an eye on it..

Eh... forget what I said in my previous post. I just checked and noticed there's a new version of the ignore boards mod! It's only compatible with SMF 1.1 RC1... see for yourselve.

Now I have no excuse.. will install on a test board first..we'll see how it goes

I hope it goes well... after that I can start "ignoring boards"
