Section and Topic Exclusion Working Again

posted by pudge on 2004.10.06 19:16   

For a few months, you've been unable to block specific sections or topics on this site, so if you had "collapse sections" selected in your preferences, you would get all the module updates, even if you had them excluded.

Well, this is now working again. Go to your homepage preferences if you are logged in, and follow the instructions. What I do is select "All" for all the sections except "Module Listings", where I select "Best," which means only the stories we give special priority. (Note: these settings also affect your personalized RSS feed.)

Sorry it took so long to get this working, thanks for your patience, and let me know if there's any problems with it.

  I noticed I can't order my slashboxes any longer. Is that related to this change?

  It's not a big deal, I'm just wondering if that was intentional.

      Not yet it's not :-) I'm trying to move my bottom slashbox up or the ones above it down, and still no go :(

        The bug to show them was squashed. The bug to reorder them, that's another story ...

  I don't get the Slashboxes I picked.
