Hiding and Unhiding Categories

HIDING AND UNHIDING CATEGORIES

One of the things that you can do to make your browsing easier is to hide categories that you do not visit. Categories can be unhidden if you ever want to visit the forums therein. Hiding a category won't prevent you from following a link to that forum.

Note that you cannot do this when using the Mobile skin, so this tutorial is only presented using the Carbon/Default/Full skin/theme.

For example, here's what the site looks like normally:

For our example, we'll hide the Horus Heresy category. If you want to hide a category, the first step is hold your mouse over the "-" that appears at the far right of the category header, as below.

When the mouse is positioned over the correct spot, the "-" icon will be backlit in white. A small text box saying "toggle this category" will appear.

If you click the toggle icon, the category will be hidden.

The hidden category header will still show, but it will be faded and all of the forums within will be hidden, allowing you to more easily scroll past any categories you don't visit regularly.

If you want a hidden category to show, simply move the mouse over the "-" at the far right end of the header to see the toggle icon.

As before, a text box will appear giving you the option to toggle the hidden category. If you click the icon, the hidden category will reappear with all of its forums.

You can hide as many categories as you want.
