Possible to view Recent Posts from selected boards only ?

[apoorvlathey]

I was planning to lurk the forum to see what all is going around by going through posts on the "Recent Posts" page (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=recent).
The majority of the posts encountered were just bounty reports by the bounty hunters, nothing constructive.
Is there a way to exclude some boards or choose the boards from where to view the recent posts? There may be a URL addition that I might be not aware.

You can use multiple board numbers separated by commas. This will show posts in those boards.

You made some fast edit there !

That's exactly what I wanted! I was not able to find this in the SMF help section of the forum. Is there any page where all such URL extensions are listed or do you just remember/bookmark them?

I provided some links to recent posts of some boards. Hope they are helpful.

You don't have to list every board individually; you can also use categories (by using "c=" instead of "boards=")

For example, for all bitcoin boards, instead of going to https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=recent;boards=1,74,77,86,87,6,37,98,100,138,97,231,261,14,40,41,42,76,81,4,12, you can just go to https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=recent;c=1.

The categories are as follows:

1 = Bitcoin
3 = Economy
4 = Other
6 = Alternate cryptocurrencies

2 is hidden to standard members, and 5 is all local boards together which is obviously useless to anybody who doesn't speak 10+ languages.

I've not figured out a way to use categories and boards at the same time though.

You can also find a list of all boards and their numbers here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5115990.0

It is the best to customize your patrol page by adding board numbers and bookmark that page for your interests.
Additionally, if you don't want to customize your patrol page, but still don't want to see annoying bounty reports, please consider to use that page.

I don't know if it the answer you are expecting, but try to add this ending after your link:

;sort=first_post;desc

EXAMPLE:

This link --------> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=238.0

to this one ----------> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=238.0;sort=first_post;desc

Quoting for reference. This will make my life easy.  

If there any link which can show us all the NEW TOPICS which are created in all the boards ?

Same, tried every combination but none of them worked.

I followed this link and stumbled upon this detailed post: Patrol custom URL guideline + list of active Forum boards.

I don't know if it the answer you are expecting, but try to add this ending after your link:

;sort=first_post;desc

EXAMPLE:

This link --------> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=238.0

to this one ----------> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=238.0;sort=first_post;desc

The link that you have posted just sorts the particular board according to the latest new thread created. Nothing to do with the intentions of my OP.
