A while ago (quite awhile actually) I posted a suggestion to have the option of choosing which forums I'd like to see and which ones I don't. For example, I read several forums all the time like the Road, General, Classic & Vintage forums but I never read the BMX, Frame Builders, Politics, and so on.

So, I'd like to re-suggest the ability (perhaps in my profile) to pick which forums are displayed and which aren't. It would definitely make my forum listing a lot less cluttered. :)

Thanks for listening. You may return to your regularly scheduled reading.

This has been answered. I think in your thread actually. At the top of the sub-forum go to forum tools. Subscribe to the forum and select do not email notifications. If you then go into control panel you will see only the forums you have subscribed to.

Cheers

OK, that kind of works. I now have a list of all the forums I frequent in my Control Panel; which is OK. I can link directly to there from my Yahoo start page. However, if I click "Forum Tools > Mark This Forum Read" I'm brought back to the main BF page and not my Control Panel listing. Somewhat annoying but workable. I just thought it would be a nice feature to see only the forums I want to view on the main BF page.

Thanks for this information, it's going to help me quite a bit here, and on another forum I'm a member of. On that forum, we used to use FuseTalk, which allowed us to pick and choose which sub-forums we wanted visible. We have since changed to vBulletin, and many members complained about losing that feature.

Again, thanks for the tip.

I am not sure if it is in upcoming versions, but I agree it would be a nice feature. This tip was brought to you by Vegcrow who helped with this answer in another thread. :)

Not perfect but it helps.
