In summary, two new options have been added to the profiles section which allow users to exclude Usenet posts and News Reporter posts from their 'New Posts' searches. This means that these types of threads will not appear in the 'New Posts' search, but will still show up in other searches. Users can let Warren know if they encounter any issues with this new feature."

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.

In other words, if you choose to exclude these kinds of 'special' threads, they will not appear in your 'New Posts' search. They will still appear in other kinds of searches, however.

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

- Warren
