Save as whatever.php, upload via ftp, and point your browser to it and it will spit it all out. Change 'desc' to 'asc' if you wish it to be in ascending order instead.

Lynne thank you so much for this. I administer a high traffic site with 300 device forums. Finding the forum ID's when I need them is a nightmare without this. I used the code above and added your advice from another thread that limits access to Admins only.

I also want to figure out two more things 1) display the forum URL's 2) We also have a bunch of forums that are now hidden and link to others. I'd rather not see these in the list and would like to either identify them as forums that meet this criteria of filter them from the list.

I'm determined to figure this out on my own, but if you happen to read this and know the answer, I'll take whatever info you can provide.

BTW: A message displayed that "I couldn't like your post" but I do. Just wanted to let you know that it wouldn't let me.
