Right next to "Watched Threads" and "Watched Forums", you'll now see a link that reads "New Posts" on the bar at the top of any forum page. It works a lot like it did on the old forum. To customize your settings, click on your username in the upper right, then choose "Ignore New Posts" from the column on the right in the dropdown menu. Every click you make excludes that forum from the "New Posts" search.
You'll have to do a lot of clicking because for some reason the global checkboxes are grayed out (i.e. - you can't choose to ignore the entirety of the BG forums in one click, but you can select all of the individual ones manually, etc.), but once you have clicked on all of the forums you don't want included in your search, just hit "save" and then the New Posts option should work just like it did on the old software. I know a lot of you are like me and used this feature almost exclusively on the old software to find content of interest, so it's great to finally have it back. Thanks, Paul!
