Recently I 'invisibled' those forum sections I thought (at the time) that I would not want to see listed in the main forum sections listing. I can still see them when in guest mode but not when in member mode.

I now want to see all the forum sections listed so that (for a period at least) I can browse a wider selection and join in without having to log in at that point.

But I forgot how to alter these settings.

Please can you help me locate the facility to alter the settings.

Many thanks.

Thank you, I managed this.

I've another query. Does excluding forum sections also exclude new posts in those sections from "New Content" or does it only exclude the sections from the forum section listing?

(Sorry that I find experimenting for myself, confusing)

It says you have to press "Reset Exclusion' without holding the CTRL key. Hopefully this will work. Let me know.

Ohhhhh Yikes - I copied the area I wanted to point out and it was fine yesterday but now it looks like this ^. It's looks like I was on bad drugs lol. I don't know about your last question. I think forum exclusion means everything including new posts will be excluded. I hope you saw my original post when I put it up lol.

Yes I did thank you, it looked all right then!

I'd better experiment over a period, to find out my answer. (It can get confusing that's all)

Here's the text Lynn was copy-pasting, without the HTML:

Forums To Exclude From View
Here you can select any number of forums to exclude from the forums list, from "get new" search and from "get daily" search.

To select multiple forums, press and hold CTRL key while clicking on the forum titles. To clear exclusion, select "Reset Exclusion" without holding CTRL key.

At the bottom of the page where I'm writing this it says:

BB code is On
Smilies are On
[IMG] code is On
HTML code is Off

I'm guessing that there was a glitch with the last one that somehow let HTML code get processed. When that cleared up, Lynn's post turned back into a pumpkin... I mean, into HTML.

Thank you FZ.
