Set users default forum?

[typecast]

Is there a mod or setting somewhere that can allow the admin or user to set their default forum?

I have a large number of forums and I want to send the user directly to their preferred forum. The forums are for each state, can this be done by an IP lookup?

Thanks!

Does anyone know how to do this?

So you mean the user would go to www.yoursite.com and automatically be redirection to a particular forumdisplay.php?f=x page based on an option they have set? I have never seen this and it is not a default vbulletin option.

Thank you for responding.

No I'm thinking more along the lines of the user goes to the forum. http://www.totalfisherman.com/forum/forum.php and the forum recognizes that they are automatically logged in because they have checked the "Remember Me" box.

They are then sent to their default forum choice that they have selected in their profile.

It doesn't seem like this would be that hard to do ... Any ideas?

You could probably set a user profile field and have users pick a forum and then just do a redirect on the forum home page to that forum. Probably not too hard depending on how involved you want it to be.

That sounds doable. The redirect would have to be php coded into the main forum script?

I would guess the redirect could just be a plugin or something added to the headinclude template (which could be added via a plugin).

Thank you!
