I have been meaning to get this little bit of code into the whole Off-topic forum system and with all the ruckus lately I thought now would be a good time. You can now opt-out of forums that you may have simply opt'ed into wondering what was going on inside. So if History Club, the Junk Drawer, or even those rowdy piggies are causing too much scroll on your latest posts page, then at least you can no opt-out and those posts won't appear there.
I think this is ALL the flexibility users need. If you don't want to read or see off-topic posts then simply don't opt-in, or opt-out now. You are in control.

Cheers,
Jim
