Legacy Exclude forums!

[Hybr!d]

Im desperate for this feature and will likely move to another mod if it doesnt come soon...

Is it in the pipeline?

Thanks.

There hasn't been an update to vBActivity yet, though last night I put up a hotfix where it won't gain points in forums where post count is turned off, which should serve nicely as a stepping stone until this feature can be completed

Please understand that there are other mods which either badly need an update (vBShout - resource usage and better instance management), or haven't even received a major update yet (vBShop) and the people who use those mods would make the exact same argument as you - "their" mod should come first in line, etc.

That should do well, thanks.

Out of interest if i update, then turn of post count in some forums and recalculate... will the new totals exclude previous post made?

Cheers.

Recalc will still include those posts, this is just on post submit.

The point is that excluding forums, or indeed per-forum points (which is the other related feature a lot of people request) is a much bigger change, not just something that can be done in a day in a x.x.1 version

No problem, it will do for now, i just wont recalc from now on. Not that i should need to.

What sort of time scale are you thinking for the next major release? 1-2-3 months?

Major versions themselves tend to take anything up to 6 weeks to code so we don't tend to release any scheduling info beyond our current project - there are far too many things that can change in that kind of time, and we learned the hard way that it's better to not give dates, than to give them then have something cause us to not be able to meet them.
