G'day everyone

Suddenly the Recent list of forum posts is full of posts from non-English forums. I don't speak ten languages -- it is useless for me to see what is being posted in Spanish, Russian, Italian, etc etc forums. How can I switch this off? I don't mind seeing posts in my language combinations or in languages that I understand, but surely there is no use displaying recent posts from all language forums?

What do you think?

Customize Jul 15, 2009

Use the "Customize" link at the top of the Forums - should do the trick (I think it was there). It takes you to a settings option - on the left menu it says - NEW - select forums to be listed on the homepage.

I hope I got that right...

Clare

Same here, Samuel Jul 15, 2009

I did customize the section once again and it's fine on the homepage now but not when I click on "recent translation forum posts". This has been going on for two days or so.

I've just updated my customisations and I'm still getting all the foreign languages - must be a bug.

Maybe a solution Jul 15, 2009

I had the same situation.
I tried to click the customize button, then in the box "Latest forum posts" I clicked to further customize. Then I deselected all forum that not interest me. When I update my page it seems it works.

My two cents
Silvia

It's definitely a bug - I wasn't getting any of these foreign languages yesterday. I'll submit a support ticket.
