In short, I will have it implemented today. Stay tuned.

You ARE a God.

what exactly is this new filter going to do? what defines unwanted?

I'll get back to you on that later today, maximus. I need to think more about it and play around with the forum code.

Ok, tentatively, I have set the "Active Topics" to what it was like before the forum upgrade; namely, there are two "Active Topics" links, one called "Active Topics" and the other called "[all]". The "Active Topics" now shows active topics that have poetry-related posts filtered. The other link, "[all]", shows all active topics. Some may think this a bit unfair, but ... it would be relatively easy to set up different "Active Topics" links for different topics. For instance, it would be relatively easy to set up "Active Topics: Poetry", "Active Topics: Philosophy", and "Active Topics: All" links. In short, it is relatively easy to set up different "Active Topic" links to perform arbitrary filtering of topics. If anyone has suggestions, please let me hear them.

Works for me!

Thanks for re-implementing the filtering. Now that it seems that you have some time to do these things, how about fixing the "can't get beyond post number 200" bug? I don't play the acronym word game any more because it's just too much trouble.

Rick, that's next on my list. I should have it done this week.

Great! I look forward to it.

mm wow thanks for the filter shawn now I dont have a horde of poetry posts to sift through before finding everything else (nothing wrong with poetry but I am not always intrested in reading it so this helps)

Looks like the multipage fix might have to wait until next weekend. I have a busy week coming up. Sorry about that.
