Excluding categories from the top view?

[radq (Vikhyat Korrapati)]

Is there any way to exclude a category from the “top” view? The -categoryname that we’re using for the latest section doesn’t seem to be working.

Ah, using forums as chat. Some things never change.

We do this at http://discuss.howtogeek.com/

top_menu is: latest,-Computer Help|new|unread|starred|categories|category/Computer Help

[radq (Vikhyat Korrapati)]

I have top_menu set to latest,-forum games|top,-forum games|new|unread|starred.

The top tab still shows topics from the forum games category: http://forums.hummingbird.me/top
