There's a "case 'thread'" around line 372 that is the start of the code that creates a thread.

If you really wanted to do it via plugins, it might be possible to use a hook in the Thread_FirstPost datamanager and try to change the forumid before the thread is saved (I think the $itemdata and $feed are globals at that point). But you'd also need a way to make sure it's the rssposter.php script that's creating the thread. Maybe checking for the existance of the global $feed would work. I think you'd need to look at the code in includes/class_dm_threadpost.php and includes/cron/rssposter.php to be able to figure that out without relying on a lot of lucky guesses.

Thanks for your help, I think I'm definitely on my way there, but wouldn't have been able to without your help. I was trying it with plugins as that is always preferred but it's just so much easier to do it in the file. Much appreciated!

Now I've just gotta figure out how to create conditions based on what category each article is in.
