Ok, here we go.

But first, some user testimonial:

"Love it!" - Me2Be

Hehe, sorry, had to

Anyway, in newthread.php find:

Code:

if ($action=="newthread") {
  $forumid = verifyid("forum",$forumid);

Under, add:

Code:

  //CHOOSE FORUM HACK
    $jumpforumbits="";

  if ($forumid!="") {
    $curforumid=$forumid;
  } else {
    if ($threadid!="") {
      $getforumid=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT forumid FROM thread WHERE threadid=$threadid");
      $curforumid=$getforumid[forumid];
    }
  }

  $categorys=$DB_site->query("SELECT categoryid,title,displayorder FROM category WHERE displayorder<>0 ORDER BY displayorder");
  while ($category=$DB_site->fetch_array($categorys)) {

    $optionselected="";

    $forums=$DB_site->query("SELECT forumid,title,displayorder FROM forum WHERE displayorder<>0 AND active=1 AND categoryid=$category[categoryid] ORDER BY displayorder");

    $forumshown=0;
    $tempjumpforumbits="";

    while ($forum=$DB_site->fetch_array($forums)) {

      if ($hideprivateforums==1) {
        $getperms=getpermissions($bbuserid,$bbusergroupid,$forum[forumid]);
      } else {
        $getperms[canview]=1;
      }

      if ($getperms[canview]==1) {
        $forumshown=1;

        $jumpforumid=$forum[forumid];
        $jumpforumtitle="  $forum[title]";

        if ($curforumid==$jumpforumid) {
          $optionselected="selected";
          $selectedone=1;
        } else {
          $optionselected="";
        }
        eval("\$tempjumpforumbits .= \"".gettemplate("jumpforumbit")."\";");
      } // end if $getperms...
    } // end while

    if ($usecategories==1 and $forumshown==1) {
      $jumpforumid="";
      $jumpforumtitle="";
      eval("\$jumpforumbits .= \"".gettemplate("jumpforumbit")."\";");

      if ($curforumid=="cat".$category[categoryid]) {
        $optionselected="selected";
      }
      $jumpforumid="cat$category[categoryid]";
      $jumpforumtitle="Category: $category[title]";
      eval("\$jumpforumbits .= \"".gettemplate("jumpforumbit")."\";");

      $optionselected="";

      $jumpforumid="";
      $jumpforumtitle="--------------------";
      eval("\$jumpforumbits .= \"".gettemplate("jumpforumbit")."\";");
    }
    // add forum bits
    $jumpforumbits.=$tempjumpforumbits;
    
    }
    $forumpick = $jumpforumbits;
    //END CHOOSE FORUM HACK

Now, in the newthread template, add this where you feel fit (I added it under subject and fooled around with the alt colors):

Code:

<td><normalfont><B>Forum:</B></normalfont></td>
<td><SELECT name="forumid">$forumpick</SELECT> <smallfont>(Please choose an appropriate forum)</smallfont></td>

VERY IMPORTANT. Also in newthread template, scroll down towards the end, and find:

Code:

<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="forumid" VALUE="$forumid">

Replace with:

Code:

<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="OLDforumidOLD" VALUE="$forumid">

-----------

There you go! All done!

Now, if a user selects the "--------------" or a category from the dropdown, it will give an error saying that the forum doesn't exist, and if you followed a valid link, to email the webmaster. You might want to change this or you'll probably get emails saying "I couldn't post!!"
