Seeing New Posts without Omni
 

I don't know if it is possible, but I would like to be able to click on New Posts and get the travel threads without all the Omni threads.

I just went through the first three pages of New Posts and 25% of all the threads are Omni threads. I use Flyertalk for Travel info and I really don't care about all the other issues which take up the biggest proportion of threads on Flyertalk.

My biggest complaint is that in the old Flyertalk format I could just look through the airline and hotel threads and avoid all the Omni stuff. I have an interest in most frequent flyer and hotel programs so I find scanning New Posts is the easiest way to see what is being discussed without missing threads I find helpful.

I like the fact that I now see many of the threads from TravelBuzz that I used to miss, but I feel it takes a lot more of my time because I now am also having to scan through all the Omni threads.

How to Customize Searching New Posts or Threads
 

It is possible, satori.

The solution I have for you may not initially be as convenient nor as easy as you would like for it to be, but it should serve your requirements, satori. In fact, the following method may actually better serve your needs if you wish to customize which new posts — or threads — you want to view.

Best of all, if you like how the Search function works as described below, you can save your Search preferences so that this method of searching for new posts or threads will become the default for you and you do not have to configure this setup again! How to do this is included in the instructions detailed below.

To view new posts or threads in all forums except for the OMNI forum:

1. Click on Search, which will be one of the choices (more specifically, the third choice from the right, between New Posts and Quick Links) that will appear in the blue bar at the top of any thread or forum.
2. At the bottom of the resulting small Search Forums pop-up window, click on Advanced Search.
3. Click on the Miles&Points forum to highlight it in the large Search in Forum(s) list on the right side of the Search Forums area.
4. Then, after scrolling down towards the bottom of the list, press the Shift key and select the Misposted Threads forum, which will result in all forums being selected except for the OMNI forum.
5. If desired, deselect certain forums (whose new posts or threads you do not want to view) by clicking on them using either the Control key on a PC computer or the Command (Apple) key on an Apple Macintosh computer.
6. In the Find Posts From pop-up list, choose Your Last Visit.
7. In the Show Results as area, choose either to Show Results as either threads or posts.
8. At the bottom of the Search Forums window, click on the Go button next to Save Search Preferences so that you will not have to set this search method again every time you wish to use it.
9. Click the Search Now button above the Save Search Preferences pop-up list.

The desired result(s) should appear almost instantly.

I hope this helps you, satori.
