That's a crappy topic title, and sorry if this has been mentioned before.
This is probably a lot of coding, but:
I'm pretty handy with Javascript, PHP and SQL, so I check three forums (PHP, Databases and Client Side) to try and help people out.
It would be really neat if I could have a load of checkboxes in my profile and tick which I am good at, then have an 'unanswered questions' page just for those three forums.
That way (I believe) more people would answer more questions more quickly.

I use: search.php?search_id=newposts and filter out the crap visually. Much better, imo.

I could have sworn I made a reply here. What the f... :?

Anyway, what I said was it would be quite easy to make a modification of the link posted above by adding say a forum ID GET variable and then adjusting the SQL query accordingly.


(Hopefully this time it won't vanish.)

Thats what hes saying but he wants to be able to do what m3mn0n was saying but probably instead of writing in your get values manually, just have a seperate page to all what you forums you want to show up in it. I like this idea a lot and it gets +1 votes from me and since I win well, the votes over.
