• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Is there any way to choose filters for the New Posts option? the fs/ft forum generally pollutes the results
 
I think he means is he wants a filter so when he clicks "New Posts" (at the top) that it shows any posts he's missed since last visit, but without having any posts from FS/FT in there, he says too many results are from that topic.
 
There's no provision for doing that in vBulletin that I know of. Sorry.
 
Thanks for the translation :cool: The answer is not in this version of vBull, maybe on the upgrade that is coming real soon....don't know quite yet.

....damn, Lethal beat me to it :p
 
It has been asked before and back then everyone said it couldnt be done, but it can, here's how to do it as I mentioend in the other thread...

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

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

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

Code:
&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...

Code:
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 :D

This works just fine, and anyone can tailor it for his/her needs.
 
Wow, thanks for the info. That makes the new post button actually worth something now. :D
