We got a request from a member last week, asking for a way to hide specific boards from the overall boards front page. This would be especially helpful for hiding month twin boards that you’re not a member of… or if you’d prefer to focus on just one category on the boards, like TTC, pregnancy or parenting.
So we went ahead and built it!
You can uncheck any boards you want to hide from the boards front page, and then threads from that board won’t appear for you. (Due to technical reasons though, those threads will still show up on category pages.) Here’s the link:
* http://boards.hellobee.com/?customize-front-page
A few notes:
* One handy use for this is to hide due date boards (other than your own) from the boards frontpage.
* This feature is limited to members of the Hellobee Gold program.
* You don’t have to use the feature – personally, I prefer to see all threads from all boards.
* If you want to customize your boards front page in the future, you can access the customize link in your profile edit page.
Let us know what you think!

Awesome! I personally have no reason to use it, but I think it is a great feature for some of the bees! Way to be quick on the implementation of it!

I haven’t checked yet but is there an option to see Gold only posts? We have classical view, hide Gold… Sometimes I wish there were a Gold only option if I’m trying to hunt down a Gold thread I saw earlier in the day and couldn’t get to at the time because of LOs.

@NaturallyCathy: if you go to the search area, click archives and choose gold. That should help!

Great feature, this is really nice considering those who were once part of a month board but suffered a loss and don’t want the reminder.
