Hi Folks,
Not something that will be important to many I feel, but thanks to Tim over on DigiGreen (http://www.digigreen.net/) I've found a way to exclude particular forums from popping up when you click on new posts. It involves a little bit of work to set up, but if you find that you would like to not get updates from a particular forum when you browse it might be useful. Here's how it works:
When you click "today's posts", it loads the following page:
http://www.bsacforum.co.uk/forums/search.php?do=getdaily
which then directs you to a search results page.
If you'd like to avoid a particular forum, for example "Medical Discussions", you can exclude it from the search by using the following:
http://www.bsacforum.co.uk/forums/search.php?do=getdaily&exclude=9
Where 9 is the number of that forum found by hovering over the link to that forum on this (http://www.bsacforum.co.uk/forums) page.
If you'd like to exclude more forums, simply add more numbers, separated by commas, to the URL.
http://www.bsacforum.co.uk/forums/search.php?do=getdaily&exclude=6,9,8,26
When you've made a URL like this manually add it as a bookmark in your browser and you're away.
If you would prefer to only see new posts, then change getdaily to getnew in the url, hence:
http://www.bsacforum.co.uk/forums/search.php?do=getnew&exclude=6,9,8,26
Clicking 'bookmark this page' will not work, as that is then a temporary results page not the query page
Hope that's helpful,
Ben
