Update: I wanted to let you know that I haven't forgotten or abandoned the feature request. I've got a plan for making it, and I have some of the coding done.

I'm not gonna add links for every forum, of course. There will be a little pop-up page listing all the forums, with checkboxes.

Ahh, like:

[Show threads you posted in | Show unanswered threads | Hide T&T | Hide GCC | Hide other Forums]

And on clicking "Hide other Forums" a box comes up, yes?

If done like that i think everybody will be satisfied, quick hide/show for the most wanted to hide forums and an extra for who wants even more to be hidden

Dz i tht that u were originally gonna put this in the user cp
But ya the sunshine way is better .... easily accessable

Well, I was planning...

[Show threads you posted in | Show unanswered threads | Hide Forums]

I don't want there to be 2 different ways to hide forums (the quick links and the form)... I'd need separate code for each one... I want to get rid of the "Hide T&T" link anyway, because hard-coding forum names is dodgy.

Why would I? It only applies to the Latest Posts page, and it stores its settings in a cookie, so why not integrate it in latest.php?

Nah, it's what i originally suggested because it might be too many links to put under latest post page. I totally forgot about possibilities like dropdown/pop up boxes etc., i'm very new to the whole coding thing.

Oops, i think i unintentionally posted something to vote on...
Nah j/k WDZ, whatever you think is best goes..you are the coder, not me. Its just a suggestion from my side (and how i thought you planned it).

A drop-down box might be cool... probably quicker to use, as well. I'll look into that later, but for now I'll just go with the pop-up window because that's what I have experience coding.

Well, if you think the way I want to do it isn't good enough, I'll consider changing it. Making this feature would be kind of a waste of time if you're not happy with it.

Would that be all the pr0n he uploads to temporary storage on the server so he can share it with the world?

I'd really like the hide forums option, it's a great idea. For example, I don't want to see Translation forum threads, mostly because I never speak the language of the thread. Mind you, if you hide all of the forums except one, then why not just use the forum view?

Anyways, a suggestion would honestly be to have local mods inside the more active forums (GCC, etc.) to help the smods deal with the amount of BS threads that usually are in there (threads like PSP > DS).
(Note: I've definetly suggested that before, but it's worth mentioning again.)

Whatever decision you come to, I'm almost () certain that it will be for the good of the community.

There are some technical reasons that make it difficult for one-forum mods to work on this board. I'd have to do some modifications and testing...

its worth it WDZ, if we have some local mods that can close stupid threads like that or at least monitor the comments so its constructive and doesn't turn into spam
