Exlude For Sale / Trade posts from "Today's Posts"

[Raudulfr]

Is there a way to filter out FS / FT posts from the "Today's Posts" results or any chance of adding a second option to search for "Today's Posts" but without FS / FT? (<-- I've seen it somewhere, one button for New Posts, and another button for New Posts (excluding For Sale section))

Thanks.

Not that I'm aware of using stock vBull options, would take a hack or some custom programming.

How hard is it to just ignore the FS/T posts?

If you really want, I would mask you out of FS/T. Then theoretically you won't see any of them ever.

From an old post I made long ago...

-------------------------------------
Click "New posts" and then bookmark the page.
Edit the properties of the bookmark, it would normally look like this...

http://www.hardforum.com/search.php?do=getnew

At the end of the line add the following...

&exclude=a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h

...where a,b,c,d,e,f,g is the forum id (as number) for each forum you DONT want to show in "New posts".

Like, if you want to exclude all the "Bits And Bytes" forums like "general software" and "networking" it would look like this...

http://www.hardforum.com/search.php?do=getnew&exclude=16,19,20,23,27,32,60

To see the forum ID of the forums you want to EXCLUDE from "New posts" go to the forum index (main page) and hover your mouse over each forum to exclude and you can then see the forum ID on the status line of your browser (bottom page), shows up as "f=34" and so on.

Change the bookmark you made to this, and for convenience sake you can drag the bookmark to your desktop

This works just fine, and anyone can tailor it for his/her needs.

When you look at FS/T and you see a good deal, it makes you want to buy something (in my case a Titanium HD for $77 shipped yesterday ).

But seriously I think it's a good idea if they implemented something like that. It would be an Android level of customization.

Thanks! That worked great


@ Lethal, maybe you could use something like that for the forums? Just saying
