When you this there seems to be a limit with how many forums you can select. No matter how yo do it you can't select all the forums you want.

Yeah, 128 assuming forumids are all single-digits.
You can run the following query to lift the limitation:
Make sure to replace "usertextfield" with YOUR_TABLE_PREFIXusertextfield

This is a great hack, one of your best IMO. It works great for large forums, for those users that do not want everything. One question though... I have a user that has blocked out a catagory, however vbAdvanced still shows those threads/forum in the recent news block. if there anything that can be added on to exclude those from there also? Thanks No members have liked this post.
