If you use the 'Active Topics'/'New Topics' views, but find them frequently clogged with irrelevant posts (such as the daily dumps of regurgitated jokes), you can filter them by forum with the following link format.
For example, the links below include all forums except 'jokes'. Add or remove the relevant forum IDs according to what pi**es you off!
