Since this is hardcoded in the php file, I'm a bit confused as to how to achieve this (probably simple) modification:

//FORUM TO POST NEW THREAD IN
$formforumid = "131";

Above is original, but what I'd like is for users to be able to choose between 4 forums (submit the thread to the most appropriate forum). For example:

The forum is about motorized vehicles. Part of the entire board (4 forums) would be a place where users can submit this form (this hack) and choose if they are telling us about their motorcycle, car, boat, other and it would be submitted to the proper forum (motorcycle, car, boat, other).

If I can't get a drop down, I suppose I could just have multiple forms, and users would make the choice before they even see the form. In some ways that might work better, but I just wanted to know if it is possible to do this.

Great hack!

Can be done.

Remove the line:

$formforumid = "131";

Then, edit the template, and make a dropdown menu, with the select values being "formforumid" (using plain HTML).

This way, the user can choose which forum that the form goes into, by choose the forumid as formforumid. It's not hard to do at all.
