I have seen several comments that using "New Posts" doesn't allow you to exclude a particular forum (for example the Politics one).

Would it be possible to synthesize a "New Posts in Subscribed Forums" button? There are definitely days I need to keep my available distractions down to genuine toyota related stuff!

 

I do not think it could be done without a major hack job.

When I view the "new Posts" area, I can see which forum each post is in by looking to the far right.

 

Oh I know I can "visually filter" them, but somedays I just can't resist opening the "I'm just a girl..." thread if it's there, and kaput! another minute gone!

Edit:
Or maybe a "New posts in everything but Off-topic forums"? Would that be as big a pain?

 

another forum i'm on has these options:

Show unread posts since last visit.
Show new replies to your posts.

it'd be cool if yt could implement that. i'm not complaining now tho.

 

It all depends on the forum software being used. I visit here frequently enough that there are rarely more than a half dozen pages of new posts. Pirate (which uses the same software, has a bunch more (irrelevant) forums, and I visit just as often) has 20 pages or more of new posts, rendering the feature pointless and thus could benefit from a new posts filter. This board doesn't really need to filter down the new posts (yet) but it may be something to look into for the future. Maybe contacting the software developer would help to incorporate the feature in later versions.
