Is there anyway to limit the forums that are shown when you hit the "New Posts" button?

The short answer is, no. There is no account setting to limit that function.

The long answer is, sort of. By altering the URL of the New Posts link to include certain forums or not, you can get the results.

Could you please provide an example of an altered url? For example, for some of the C7 forums?

Thanks

Need to know what you want.

To include just the C7 Tech:
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...ew&include=169

You have to copy and save the link as shown above. Once you click on it, the link executes and will change. Once that happens the link won't work X minutes later.

Thank you.

For those reading this later, to include multiple forums, use commas between them. For C7 general and tech, for example, use &include=142,169

Yes, the forum software shortens the text of long links, and you copied the text and not the actual link address. Your browser may let you right click on the example and select "copy link address" instead of the displayed text.

Your final link should be. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/search.php <no spaces> ?do=getnew&include=<your comma delimited list>
where there are no spaces between the php and the question mark

Just to fill out the details, a link consists of two parts: The link itself (the link address), and what is to be displayed -- which can be quite different than the link itself.

Used worldwide by scammers and other twits, who do things like send an email with a link that looks like "Log in to my bank here" but actually contains an address of "scammerplace.passwordgrabber.xyzzy"
