Automatically load prefix on newthread link?

[tpearl5]

I'm looking for a way to automatically fill in the prefix based on a link. For example, a new 'news' thread would be something like
/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=1&p=news

or if I want a 'question' thread:
/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=1&p=question

(assuming news and question are the names of prefix p)

You'll probably hae to write a plugin to do that. Take a look at the prefix code in newthread.php and see if there is a hook to plugin to where you can set "selected=selected" for the prefix you want.

yeh, I figured a plugin would be needed. Unfortunately I wouldn't know how to do it myself.
