That's right, if you want the auto threads to go into different forums. Or if you want them all to go into the same forum, just give default_forumid a value. Bear in mind that you'll have to edit any categories that you've already created, as the association is made at the time these are created/edited.

There's a long history to the forum association setting, which I'm gradually trying to unwind in favour of inherited settings and permissions, but it takes time and I don't want to break people's boards in the meantime...
