Hiding certain forums on Recent Page

I'm sorry if this has been answered in a previous thread, but I couldn't find it. We used to have the ability to hide specific forums in the "Recent Posts" and "New Posts." There was a minus sign we could click on. If we wanted to view them again, we could change it. I no longer have that ability (on my IPad). Is there another way to do it?

Thanks for the help!

Best I can say is choose Desktop Version on your pad...and open each forum you want to view...make them favorites..

Other members here can advise you further...

That's what I would do.

I've asked this before. I dont need 10 short story threads on the New post page..

I want the new info, but not short stories, or other things unrelated to why I read the forums.

but I got told off for asking, by people saying go elsewhere then..

dont upset the populace, the constabulary will agree with them.....

should be able to delete unwanted topics from it in our own options, but it is what it is..

and not have to make a specific list of what we want when a lot of of special interest areas exist. just winnow the chaff..
