AI Thread Summary
Two new options have been added to user profiles, allowing members to exclude Usenet posts and News Reporter posts from their 'New Posts' searches.

Hello all,

I have added two options to the Options sections of your profiles. These two options can be used to exclude Usenet posts and News Reporter posts from your 'New Posts' searches.

Enjoy! Let me know if it gives you any trouble.
