I really am not interested in all the 4DTV posts and they are dominating the recent posts. I blocked all FTA forums, including 4DTV , but they are still showing up in recent threads. Any way I can control those?
People have asked this in the past and one would think that vB would carryover a user's 'blocked' forums list to this column, but it doesn't. Odd, because 'Recent posts' is dynamically generated.
Not from the front page, but you can hit the New Posts (entire site) button from the main forum page and it will show only new unread posts from the unblocked forums.
I do this and then hit "mark all forums read" when I have digested that bunch. Works pretty well for me.
