to ignore a subforum?

Would love to throw a few of these on the list. Tired of seeing unread messages on the mwc forum.

btw... the nested format has terrible performance for me. When i go to board index, it's fast. when i click on mwc, it's slow. when i go to general discission, it's fast. team forums, fast. just that first click out of board index into that is slow and i think its from the nested forums.

Anyways, if there was a hide option it might be able to help with both of those issues (albeit small) - is that an option on the boards?

Not sure... I don't know a way to do that in phpbb.

Is it mostly the team forums that are annoying you? If they would have taken me up on my offer to convert them to proper permissions instead of passwords that wouldn't be an issue, but alas I don't want to force anything on them For any future tourneys it will be set up that way.

Not sure about the performance issue... will have to look into a bit when I get time (long weekend in Canada, so probably not today or tomorrow).

Is that what the difference is? Only some of the forums show up, are those the passworded ones? Was curious about this.

Yes. Passworded forums show up for everyone and (annoyingly) trigger unread message icons too. If you make proper permissions no one has to enter passwords and only the folks in the right group can see the relevant forums... and there's no chance of people guessing the password.

So yeah, I'll re-extend the offer to people to convert their team forums to permissions-based.

doing that requires login which is obviously HUGELY different from entering a password.

bleh.

the passwords are good for one thing - zak made his articles.

Right but you can stay logged in (with persistent login), whereas it will ask you for the forum password every new session.
