Blocking a board (forum)

[kuhio98]

Is there a way to block a board so that you don't see it when you click on New Posts?

I don't want to see anything in the Dog House board. I don't want to see the thread titles alluding to some awful, depressing thing in the news. I just don't want to see them. I'm so tired of the negative things that get picked up in the press. I want to concentrate on positive things.

Yes, I know that those awful things are out there, but I want to pick and choose when I feel like I can handle them. Yes, I know I may miss some (probably very few) uplifting stories posted there.

Now I know that I don't have to visit the Dog House to read the postings, but my habit is to click on "New Posts" or "Today's Posts" to see what's happening. I'd like to continue to do that if possible -- just not see the titles in the Dog House.

Is that possible?
