Is there a way to filter out posts from sub-forums? Or, you know, ignore a sub-forum entirely?
Or even just to exclude a sub-forum from the "New Posts" query...
I'm not aware of a way to do that. I would certainly use the feature if it was available.
Hmm... ok.
For those wanting to do it the long way:
- Start an [url=http://pistol-forum.com/search.php?search_type=1]advanced search
- Search type: Posts
- Search in forum(s): CTRL+A to select all, CTRL+CLICK the forum you want to exclude
- [X] Also search in child forums
- Find posts: -Your Last Visit- -and Newer-
- Show results as: Threads
This isn't perfect. And it's long. And it doesn't generate a bookmarkable URL (since each new instance of a query is assigned a unique ID).
But it works. And even this level of effort is less than the pain from seeing certain sub-forums
If I get a some spare time, which is unlikely, I'll try to whip something up. It'll probably use Grease Monkey.
I could use a way to skip new posts from "ask mall ninja" or whateverthehell that forum is called.
Me three or whatever. Like a good laugh and all, but...
Thank God it's not just me.
I love that stuff... And once I figured out where it was coming from I was able to laugh my ass off. But, since I usually read P-F.com via Tapatalk's New Posts, I thought everybody who wrote those letters to SD247 were going bonkers.
If you can't taste the sarcasm, try licking the screen.
