Is there a spot to mark as read certain "sections" of the forums? Like anything under Off Topic Area, is there a way to mark just those sub-categories?
Aaron, I've not been able to find a way to use the "Mark as Read" option on individual subforums. I think the option is global...it marks all of the threads.
Ah, I forgot about the Forum Tools. I was looking at the Quick Links.For individual sub forums you can go under forum tools and mark that particular one 'read', but you have to do that for each sub forum. Just looking for something that would do each sub fourm under a particular group. Just lazy I guess. Thanks for looking
This may not be the answer to your question, but if you double click on the icon at the far left on a particular forum (like "Off Topic") it will mark all the threads in "Off Topic" as read. The problem is that they still appear when you do a "New posts" - they're just not highlighted.

There's an icon to the left of the forum name, in a separate column. It looks like a bulletin board with some papers tacked to it. Double click on that.I don't use the 'new post' button so what you are saying would work, but when I click or double click on a heading only thing it does is bring up that sub forum only.
Example:If I move my mouse over 'off topic' it turns yellow, when I click on it, it opens the off topic section only. It wont let me double click.

Note that you only see this at the top level screen - the one that shows all the forums.

What I want is some way to permanently remove certain forums from my "New Posts".
gives me everything that qualifies as a new post EXCEPT forums 40, 41, 36, 39 and 9.
Vaughn, time to take off the bag. You're not getting enough oxygen.Well, I'm shocked...shocked, I say, that anyone would not want to read and savor every single post on every single forum. Why, I even print out each post separately so it can go into my Family Woodworking scrapbook.
Here's the full URL, with spaces added to keep vBulletin from truncating it:
