First Post Reserved
Q: I have a lot of forums that I need to be able to hide, but I cannot hide them all. Help! A: Yes, there is a limitation due to the properties of the mysql field. It is intended to hold up to 64 forums. If you need more than that, please run the following query:
Make sure to replace PFX with your TABLE_PREFIX (it is found in config.php).

Ok, I know I must be doing something wrong, so if someone can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. I went in to phpmyadmin and tried running the sql command, but I get this in return:
'vb1' is what is listed in my config.php No members have liked this post.

I went back in to my options and only reset exclusion shows. I followed the instructions to clear it, but nothing else shows up. Any ideas? I re-ran the installer with overwrite on just to be sure, and still no luck. No members have liked this post.

This is the one where the members can filter forums, correct? I am using it, love it.
Isn't there one somewhere that the admin can filter the forum also? No members have liked this post.

This works well. After running the query to allow all as excludable, I did have to re-save one of the forums manually to get them to show up on the list, but all else works great. The users have been asking for this one. Thanks!

Is there a way to remove the forum from the search function but leave it on the index?
