Is there a way to remove a public forum from Todays Active Threads"

For example I have an "Off-topic" or "Chit Chat" forum, that is getting several post per day, but I really don't want to have it take up half of the Todays Active topics results since the topics are irrelevant our sites Niche?

Hope this makes sense. Thanks for any advice.

Logician,

Thanks for the link, I think it is the answer to my question

[heynurse]

I followed the link in post #2 and I followed the instructions and it did not work, the forum I did not want included in results, remained in the results.

any other suggestions? Thanks

I did apply both post #2 and #7, but the results are unchanged?

Here are the snippets from my search.php file that I am using:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

and

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

I hope this helps, thanks again with your help.

ok lets try this:

First revert the changes you made in the code and instead of this find the line: (in search.php)

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

and replace it as:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

There are 2 instances, one is for members, the other is for guest. If you want to exclude the forum for both of them, change the both lines.

Dont forget to replace X with your excluded forumid.

I guess this will do the trick now..

Logician,

That worked like a charm! Thanks a million.

Now, one more quick question, I do have one other forum, I would like to exclude, how would I go about excluding two or more fourms?

I tried putting in the two forums(98,112) separated by a comma, but that didn't work, I got an error message.

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

any ideas? Thanks again!

Logician,

Thanks, you rock, worked like a charm.

This is great, however, on my forums it still adds the excluded thread to the total number of new posts....does this happen for anyone else?

any way to exclude it from adding to the new post count?

[Swedie]

Hey.. I used it .. it works great. but now my "show last 10 searches" doesn't work anymore. what's up?

[JustAskJulie]

Thanks, that last bit worked. Any way that someone could merge this with the other topic?

[Baptizer]

has anyone found a way to exclude it from the post count as well?

[Logician]
