Request: Ability to block some forums from "New Posts" link.

doctorfrog on 12/7/2004 at 19:54

Because I haven't played Thief: DS yet.

I usually catch up on the forums using the New Posts link. I'd like to be able to exclude the spoiler forums from my search, as well as those for games I don't own or play, such as Morrowind.

If there's a way to make this a per-user setting, I'd sure like to make use of it!

thx,

frog

Undocumented features agogo ;)

Might want to bookmark that, rather than type it out all the time. :)

For your information, you can use multiple <em>exclude</em> arguments.
For example: <a href="http://www.ttlg.com/forums/search.php?do=getnew&exclude=133&exclude=70" target="_blank">http://www.ttlg.com/forums/search.php?do=getnew&exclude=133&exclude=70</a> will exclude Comm Chat & the Deadly Spoilers forum.

After some messing around, I've determined that this doesn't work with multiple forums. Unless I'm doing something wrong.

my link: (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/search.php?do=getnew&exclude=133&exclude=94&exclude=124&exclude=129&exclude=84)

Use commas to seperate the forums. To exclude Thief Gen and Comchat, use <a href="http://www.ttlg.com/forums/search.php?do=getnew&exclude=70,83">http://www.ttlg.com/forums/search.php?do=getnew&exclude=70,83</a>

Thanks, jer!

Just to clarify, the &exclude= trick works as well, but you can only have a maximum of two. Which is simply no good at all.

Only two? That's bizarre.

It is indeed :weird:
