    Custom Search Forum URL?

    Several years ago I had bookmarked a custom URL that would search only one forum/subforums for new posts. At some point it stopped working, and I forgot about it.

    I was trying to recreate that URL for the XIV forums now that they've been reorganized a little and I'm not having any luck. I can get there through a manual exclusion of every other forum [&exclude=52,70,etc] but I know there is (or at least was) a way to do it correctly. "&forumchoice[]=" doesn't seem to work.

    I appreciate any help that can be given.

    Was probably this old thread - http://www.bluegartr.com/threads/988...ghlight=search

    Which doesn't really answer your question since it was I & others just using the exclude method.

    Thanks for the link, Kaisha, that was still helpful. That, and some more google-fu, turned up the answer. Posting it here for future reference. You now do &include=a,b,c ... where "a", "b" and "c" are the forum ID numbers you want to pull from. Here's the code that will search all the FFXIV forums for new posts:

    Code:
    http://www.bluegartr.com/search.php?do=getnew&contenttype=vBForum_Post&include=121,92,131,133,128,130,122
    ... and getnew can be replaced by getdaily if you want to see what else has been active recently:

    Code:
    http://www.bluegartr.com/search.php?do=getdaily&contenttype=vBForum_Post&include=121,92,131,133,128,130,122
