Exclude forum from New Posts

[maryx]

Thanks to the excellent suggestion from KW802 of making a plugin in this thread I have been able to exclude one of my forums from New Posts.

However, I would like to give my members the option of selecting whether or not to see this forum in New Posts.

This means that I need to make a drop down menu in the navbar under New Posts; one selection would say "exclude shopping", one selection would say "include shopping".

The problem is twofold: where to edit a drop down menu for New Posts, and then, how to attach the plugin that excludes shopping to that navbar selection.

Any ideas out there?
