Approved [forum addon] Filter out posts in 'Whats New?' by subforum

[ozzeh / dave]

This add-on displays a list of forums on the Accounts page that a user has permissions to access, and allows them to select the ones they DON'T want to see in New Posts (or What's New in XenForo 1.1 and below).

This is especially handy for those off-topic forums that can generate a lot of chatter and fill up New Posts with content that isn't related to the site.

The list of forums can also be limited to a subset of forums in the Admin Control Panel options for this add-on.

Additionally, there is an option to remove threads created by certain users from the New Posts page for all users.

The description speaks for itself. Basically, it lets you filter out certain forums when you click "What's New?" on the top of the page. This can be useful for people who don't want a shitload of trading posts coming up in their results.

...Or those who want to see only trading related posts.


The add-on can be found here: http://xenforo.com/community/resources/ignore-new-posts-by-waindigo.139/

Note #1: This is listed as a Free add-on.
Note #2: I haven't tested it yet, I just found it and figured I'd post it here.

+1 I would like to look at porn without having to stop each time a report- or trade topic pokes me in the eye.

Just let me sit in my own shameful despair without trying to sell me your fucking bushwacka for 3 ref because you got some fancy pancy set...

+1 since it's free and would totally beat my current plan of lurking 24/7 with recent activity.

+1, so many of the threads are just trade threads which is annoying

 

[Talow]

This gets a +1 from me, since it is insanely useful for those who don't want to look at report threads/trade threads in recent activity.

Would also keep Jailbreak reports out of it.

 

[KinCryos]

while I don't use the "What's New?" link, I do find this useful

 

[ToTeM]

this could be very useful for those who want to see wat is new and hip without all the trade threads

What's the difference between this and clicking the sort by "Start Date" on any section on the forum?

They're mostly trade threads
