14. Being able to filter out the video posts for *certain* forums would be very useful.

In some forums, I'd expect and appreciate seeing a lot of video posts. "Music Appreciation" comes to mind, but there are several others.

In other forums, especially ones where I'd expect to see hard news, videos of someone I don't know pontificating over some kernel of news are just chaff, to me.

With regard to your your question, "Trashing" a forum will prevent its posts from appearing in "Latest", but that's a very blunt solution. That's what I've done with the two video forums, and it helps, but it's far from an ideal solution
