Excluded forums when clicking "Get new posts"


Maybe it's just me,but I wanted to exclude 5 or 6 forums and I just can't do it.The only forum that is excluded is the last one that I choose to exclude when I "Edit options",all the others come back as soon as I click on the "View new posts" even if I've selected them to be excluded.It just goes in a circle.

I can verify that I just tested the feature and it works as expected for me. Is anyone else seeing this issue?

If you hold down the ctrl key, it will add to the excluded forums. I think it's not the greatest interface, maybe checkboxes would be more obvious (except that would make it harder to select many at once...).

If I hold down the ctrl key then it works.It's a interesting thing.I think that checkboxes would be a better solution.

That's the standard browser UI for a multiple select box. We have no plans to change it to checkboxs at this time (with the number of forums we have, it would be a bit unwieldy IMHO).

I was thinking only for the Excluded forums in the "Edit options" menu.With anything else I don't have a problem,but I understand you Jeremy.Well,maybe some day.
