MobileRead improvements: Exclude forums, et al.

Are there forums that you never visit while you're here? Want to exclude them from your "Find New Posts" and from the "Latest Forum Activity" on our homepage? Well boys and girls, now we have the technology!

In your User CP, under "Edit Options", go to "Forum Exclusion" (or simply follow this link). From there, hold the ctrl key and select all the forums you want to exclude, hit Save Changes and you are ready to go.

Just to clarify, you can still view threads and posts from the exluded forums by navigating to them via our forum homepage.

Because this feature makes "Find new posts w/o E-Book Uploads" redundant, we will remove the latter in a few days.

Book Genres

As you may have noticed, we recently introduced genres to our e-book section. It'll still require some time to add genres to older uploads (we're going to write a tool to ease the process), but all new uploads carry a genre. And what would genres be worth if you couldn't sort by them? Well, now you can, when you browse our e-books. Enjoy.

Search BBCode

Wouldn't it be cool sometimes if you could link to search results by specifying the keywords in a post? Like, imagine someone asking for help and the best way to help this person is to direct him to a search query. You can do this now with the Search button which is added to the post editor.

We've invested some serious time into our software, but it's not until you put it in front of your audience that you'll really know whether you got it right. So please, let us know if something isn't working correctly for you. You can also leave us your suggestions on how to improve MobileRead, but please go easy, we're going to read every one of these and we want to make sure the bugs get worked out before we can start rolling out new stuff. Thanks everybody!
