Thread: Filtering out sub-forums

  1. #1

    Filtering out sub-forums

    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:

    1. Start an [url=http://pistol-forum.com/search.php?search_type=1]advanced search
    2. Search type: Posts
    3. Search in forum(s): CTRL+A to select all, CTRL+CLICK the forum you want to exclude
    4. [X] Also search in child forums
    5. Find posts: -Your Last Visit- -and Newer-
    6. 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.

    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.

    Yeah, me too - I went through a few "WTF are people trolling the forums??" moments before I made it to a computer and saw what was going on.
