Okay A hack I wrote for our 6.05 board - never released it because the coding wasn't exactly brilliant.

What it does:

In the User's profile, they have the option of which forums they want to hide. And an option for whether those should be hidden from Daily Topics aswell. And it has a default hide for guests aswell (via a wordlet)
If you goto our boards and begin to register you'll see the options I mean. (although they were split into two boxes, but since adding and deleting forums it seems to have confused it)

What I did was to make HTML comments in the rows part that wrote each line for the forums.

I suggested this not long ago and it sounded like it would be pretty rough. But if it were possible... oh boy would my users love it. smile

Thinking along some lines of how to improve it.

I guess the PHP accelerator could act as a SSI page.

Each forum row gets cached seperately.

And the PHP would be something like

if (in_array($f, $hidearray) == FALSE) {
include("./$cache_path/forum_summary/Forumrow$f");
}

that could work without putting too much of a strain on the server.
Not sure how it would work on the non-php side though.
Thoughts?
