FISO's new webdevelopers should upgrade the forum on Sunday. There may be a small amount of downtime when changes are made to the database.

The main changes will be:

- Customised Latest Topics Pages. This page will be in your UCP (i.e. via the Profile button) and there will also be a link to it from the latest topics pages. Some forums will be compulsory but for the vast majority you can choose wether or not you want them displayed on the latest topics pages.

- Upgrade from phpbb3.0.5 to 3.0.7. This will produce a few extra functions and improvements.

This has been done this morning instead of Sunday.

When I go to Manage Displayed Forums - I can't turn any of them off or on.

Give me about 30 mins (going through each forum now & have to do them all 1 by 1) assuming no interuptions from the children.

Cheers

Do you know if it clashes with the greasemonkey script that Bram wrote?

You'll have to ask Bram. However I assume no need for that script now if it did the same thing that you can now do at source.

All works fine... although I would like to turn off the betting forum. I've got no interest in that one.

Cheers

Now sorted.

Those that can't be supressed are mainly the categories and links which wouldn't appear on the latest topics pages anyway as no posts can be made.

Direct link to the page to customise is:
ucp.php?i=prefs&mode=index

It doesn't seem to clash, but as admin says, the inbuilt system is much better. It doesn't send extra data to the browser and it works wherever you are logged in rather than just the PC which you've configured the script. Plus, of course, it works in IE too!

One small anomaly. This topic doesn't seem to appear in latest posts anymore. Is that because it's a global?

Seems that once a member has used the customised facility then Global Announcements don't appear in the Latest Topics pages any more. Will see if the webdeveloper can resolve the bug.

Are you sure they are forums? As per my post above: 'Those that can't be supressed are mainly the categories and links which wouldn't appear on the latest topics pages anyway as no posts can be made.'

I believe this is now resolved.

Thanks Chris, this is a really helpful innovation for using FISO at work where I couldn't use the greasemonkey script :D

I can't choose to hide the Totel Football forum. Is it to do with this need for admin to manually add each one to a list:

or is it special and can't ever be hidden?
