Quick Tip: Excluding forums from New Posts list

Some members may get annoyed by the constant NZB Forum post bumps or other forum's posts showing up on the new posts list so here's how you can exclude a forum from this list.

Just add &exclude=X to the end of the newposts url (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/search-getnew/)
Where X is a list fo ForumIDs (seperated by commas) to exclude.

Example:

Code:

---

http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/search-getnew/?exclude=80,106,107,108,120

---

This will block the NZB forum's posts from showing on the new posts list.:)

Enjoy...

Nice, thanks :)

Can we have that as a quicklink, or is it too much of a personal preference to be part of the main board features?

It's like greek to me. Can you break it down? Thanks.

You can simply store it as a Bookmark/Favorite in your browser.

rossco, I just don't know how to use the info you gave. I mean do I insert an x into the/a url every time?

No, here's an example URL that i put in the first post:
http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/searc...06,107,108,120

You can just edit the numbers on the end of that URL to the forum IDs that you want to exclude.

Code:

---

http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/search.php?do=getnew&exclude=80,106,107,108,120

---

You can see it all in a code box.

OK I think I got it. But where are the forum ID's? Thanks.

If you look at the URL of forums on the main page (click) you will see either:
fX-title.html (synapse skin) or f=X (other skins). The X will be the forum's ID.
For example see this url:

Code:

---

http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/forumdisplay.php?f=9

---

9 is the forum id. (This is for the forum 'Everything Related to the Board')

Nice:)

And just quick link for everyone that doesn't want to look up the forum codes:

This link excludes all NZB posts, and all Ed2k hash posts.

Code:

---

http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/search.php?do=getnew&exclude=80,106,107,108,120,13,14,15,27,36

NP. :P

Damn I don't even use the New Posts list. I just kinda come on here for a bit and roll out. :idunno:

Thanx rossco very usefull. your a champion :cool2:

I am presently using google rss page thingy, is there any way to to use your above trick in the rss feed?
or is there a rss link to fst which i can edit? and how?
the nzbs are sucking up the space.

This example shows ONLY the NZB forums.

You can add whatever IDs you want, seperated by columbs, to the end of that URL.
Not sure if there's a way to only exclude forums instead of saying which ones you want, but i'm sure this will work for you.

so simple - thanks

How about adding a new button eg: NPL (newpostLite) or something in that top bar?
excluding merelly nzbs?

This deserves a bump.

New button would be nifty though that bar is a bit crowded already.
Think those that want should bookmark it as how they want it...

Here's mine:
