Hiya, not sure if this has been asked before, I took a look at the Forum Info section and didn't see it. Is there any way to filter out a category from the unread posts function? It's a great function, much more efficient than looking at new in each category, but I find I spend a lot of time scanning over journal titles, and I really don't often look at any journals (though I think having them is a cool idea). I think I've scanned over "Full Frontal Nudity Blunt Force Trauma" a hundred times... Any tips would be appreciated, thanks!
Thanks very much misshathaway, that's an okay workaround. I agree with human that it's tedious, but better than nothing. Not sure whether any moderator is going to weigh in on whether a direct option might be possible - hope so :)
[G-dog, makes me less likely to click, and I cringe a little seeing that title (and hope it's not hard on people who have had to deal with blunt force trauma situations) but maybe that's just me...]

It's not personal, SS. I'm sure you have a lovely journal!

I created this Javascript bookmarklet (see toggle-journal-posts.txt attachment) to toggle unread posts from the Journals category.
Add a bookmark to your browser with the contents of the file as the URL for the bookmark. Then, when you're on the Unread Posts (http://forum.mrmoneymustache.com/unread/) page, clicking the bookmarklet will show or hide any post that is in the Journals category.
The source to the bookmarklet is in the second attachment (toggle-journal-posts.js). I ran the source through https://jscompress.com and http://mrcoles.com/bookmarklet/ to create the bookmarklet code in toggle-journal-posts.txt. You can edit the source file to add additional categories that you want to toggle by updating the "exclude" array. Run the source through JSCompress and the Bookmarklet generator again before re-saving your bookmark.
Enjoy!

Is there any way to make the Javascript instead mark the threads read?
I don't want to mark all journals read, obviously I know how to do that, so I'd remove that line from the exclude list, but I want to have one where I just put in threads I'm not interested in, run it, and it marks them as read.
I can't think of a way off the top of my head to do this (other than it clicking on them to load them, then closing that tab, or something else equally inefficient).
That'd be neat. If you want a bonus challenge, integrate a right click context menu item that adds a link the to blacklist. ;)

Better yet, replace the "Show unread posts since last visit." with your custom link from your extension!
Wow, the javascript is a lifesaver. This forum is being over-run with Journals. Not my thing at all, so was getting very tired of reading past all the irritating titles.

That's easy enough, if his extension can be made into a URL, you can just bookmark it. Or have an icon where your extensions go (next to the URL bar) that clicking it launches (and right click for settings).
But what I meant is an easy way to add new threads to ignore. Being able to right click on a journal title, for example, and add it to the blacklist, would be sweet.
I've updated the script to allow one to exclude both posts/topics and categories from any topics page (i.e. Unread, Journals, Off-Topic, etc.). I've also added some instructions and comments to the original source for those wanting to modify the script.
Enter the full URL to the post/topic or category that you want to hide from the topics page. For instance:
exclude = [
'http://forum.mrmoneymustache.com/journals/',
"http://forum.mrmoneymustache.com/off-topic/a-merciful-break-in-the-heat/",
];
Will hide any post within the Journals category and the post "A merciful break in the heat" (the last post in the Off-Topic page).
Enjoy again!
When done editing your list of excluded items, compress your source using JSCompress (https://jscompress.com), convert the code into a Bookmarklet (http://mrcoles.com/bookmarklet/), and save it to your bookmarks/favorites list.
One click later, and you'll be toggling visibility on those posts/topics and categories in your exclude list.

I had been using this for months, but now suddenly it has stopped working. My Firefox browser just updated to 57.0.1. Is that why? Maybe new Firefox changed the about:config settings? I don't know any JavaScript, so would some kind MacGyver help me fix it please?

Here is a new version that should work today.
