Allows users to exclude specific users from their "New Posts" / "What's New" feed without using the global Ignore feature.
Features:
How it works:
Users go to their Account page and click "Excluded from New Posts" in the sidebar. They can search for any username and add them to their exclusion list. Threads started by or last replied to by excluded users will no longer appear in the New Posts feed.
This is different from the built-in Ignore feature, ignored users are hidden everywhere (posts, conversations, etc.). This addon only affects the New Posts feed, leaving all other interactions intact.
Installation:
Upload the ZIP via Admin CP > Add-ons > Install/upgrade from archive.
