Excluding certain forums from New Posts at DVinfo.net

Ian Holb · July 28th, 2007, 10:29 AM

For those who use the New Posts feature and want to exclude certain forums you are not interested in, you can append &exclude=[forumid] to the end of the New Posts URL, such as:

from: http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/search.php?do=getnew

to: http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/search.ph...ew&exclude=144

Forum 144 corresponds to the UWOL challenge.

To find the forum number, just hover over the forum link on the home page and the number at the end of the URL is its forumid number. You can add more exclusions by adding a comma after each number.

That's a cool trick Ian - thanks for sharing!

Boy, I've been waiting for this one for years!

You can string together multiple excludes?
