Exclude forums from search

Hi, I've got a couple of wee issues. Firstly, the way I normally use the forums is that I click on "Topics since last visit" - however sometimes this breaks, and I get no results, also often there are multiple pages but I go to them & they show no results. This is probably a fault on my end with cookies or something, but can we bring back the "show posts for last 24 (or 12) hrs" link?
Also, the next thing is that I (sadly) don't speak anything except English, which means the international forums mean nothing to me, so can there be some flags in my profile to exclude those from returning in the "show posts since last visit" search?

So
1) Bring back the "last 24 hrs" link to recent posts, or perhaps some links like - last 12hrs, last 100 posts etc would be very handy.
2) Allow me to exclude certain forums from these generic searches so I don't get confused when I see those crazy international words :)

Cheers
Brad

Those searches time out. What I do whenever I have multiple pages returned from one of those is to instantly open new browser windows containing all the pages. That way I can keep referring back to them.

Ah! At least that explains the "sometimes works, sometimes doesn't" behaviour I get. Thanks :)

What is the saying? Great minds think alike?
