Hi,

while there's a button to view (all) new posts and an e-mail notification for posting in selected topics or boards, I would love to have that kind of combined: not getting an e-mail for every new post in a board (unnecessary traffic), but having a link on this website which shows me the new postings in the selected boards since my last visit, uncluttered by the new postings in the sections which I'm not interested in.

Regards,
pm

I use a Greasemonkey script to hide the forum sections I'm not interested in seeing. Would that work for you?

Thanks, never heard of that, but looking at it, it might just do the trick :)
Would you care to share your script with me, so I wouldn't need to re-invent the wheel but just modify it to my needs?

There is one call to "myremove" per table row to be removed. Count carefully and change the numbers as appropriate, then remove the .txt extension and load in Firefox, after installing Greasemonkey. If you miscounted, edit the installed script, save, and reload the forum index page.

No, its not pretty, nor robust. Platypus doesn't tend to make code that's either, and I didn't feel like fixing it.

Thanks a lot Dalestan. Works like a charm.

Thanks from me too! I've heard about Greasemonkey before, but now I have actually installed and used it.

(Edit: Forget it, it works now. I haven't the faintest idea why it hasn't worked for a couple of days)

It seems this script has stopped working after the latest forum update - at least for me. Has anyone else seen the same? Has anyone fixed the script?

As far as I can understand, the structure of the pages has changed, and consequently the script doesn't find the things it is looking for. I have not (yet) been able to understand it enough to make it work again.

What about bookmarking topics? Would that be helpful? It's a standard function in phpbb3, which allows you to view your bookmarked topics via your User Control Panel. It doesn't work on forums though, just on topics... For forums, I guess you could just minimalize the sections you're not interested in. IIRC phpbb3 got that kind of feature.
