As the site grows more posts are made in a shorter time frame, it would be useful to be able to configure the new posts function to search in specific forums, or a set list of forums created by the user that he/she wishes to contribute in, while ignoring others that they either don't want to search at that time or have no interest in at all.
Allowing multiple saved settings would be the ideal, which would give a user the ability to switch quickly between what they want to search if they have already set this up. This would allow a user to tailor their experience for themselves and cherry pick the content which interests them the most.
It would also allow the forum to segregate conversation about different things to separate areas. Which has benefits in allowing specific mods for specific forum areas to spread workload between many mods who have expertise/interest in a specific area, but perhaps not in others.
