At the bottom of the CMPS Admin Panel General Settings is a section called Excluded Forums. The descriptino says thus;

Enter a list of forumids (seperated by commas) that you would like to exclude from your modules that use forum permissions. This will affect latest threads, Random polls, and any add-on modules that you may have which use the $iforumperms variable to determine forum permissions. Leave this blank if you do not wish to exclude any forums. Example setting: 1,4,9
I don't understand why this says... "that use forum permissions"... why is this text there? Doesn't all of vBa use permissions?

Is this simply a way of excluding a specific forum from appearing on the CMPS portal page even if the user does have permission and can see, read and post in that forum category in the vB forum area?

Not really. The latest topics and poll modules do, but not the news.

Yes.
