XF 1.5 Recent post pagination increment plus exclusion of categories

[htweet]

1. Please how do i exclude some forum categories from showing up in the recent post page. I have a news forum category and i dont want it to show up in the recent post page because i have a separate page created for news.

2. How can i make the recent posts page show more than the default 8 pages pagination?

1. You can exclude nodes from new posts via the node options.

2. That is determined by the Read Marking Data Lifetime (Days) option.

Thanks @Brogan. It worked for nodes exclusion. But even when i set the Read Marking Data Lifetime (Days) to 365 days, it wont show more than 8 paginated pages on recent posts
