The problem is that would mean caching the forum for everyone, rather than everyone sharing one. We used to get around this with some custom in-browser filtering, but we can't do that with phpBB.

I'll take a look at the server load and will decide if it'd be okay for us to generate these live / per-user.

+1

And blocking threads from appearing on the front page would be nice.

Forum blocking is not good enough

In the new forum, I have blocked one spamming troll on this site, but still I see way too much from this troll. The front page summary does not completely filter this person away from my view. I would love also the new forum and front page to do it equally good as the old forum did. I hope this is not too much to ask?

(The other issue is of course why this spamming troll still is on this site, but that is another issue)
