    How to exclude posts from a certain forum when you click on "new posts"?

    Would I have to modify something in search.php?

    Some things you can do:
    • Password it.
    • Deny permission to all but the usergroups that are supposed to see the posts
    • Make the forum a joinable usergroup (that's what I ended up doing for spoiler forums).

      In the navbar template find instances of search.php?do=getnew then add &exclude=1,2,3. Replace 1,2,3 etc with the ID's of the forum(s) you want to exclude.

      It would then look like this: search.php?do=getnew&exclude=1,2,3
