This is a real interesting hack and close to what I would like on my forum, is it possible to adapt this to post on 2 forums at the same time by selecting two forums, this would be great because I am creating a forum for football fans, where they can pick 2 teams/forums and have a chat between themselves its called banter in the UK ?

I installed it but when a user creates a new thread from the drop down there isn't any names :S

Please help

Me too. I was searching for a selectable forum dropdown menu like this and finally found it. Would love to know if this is compatible with 3.8.x.

Thanks!

Found the 3.8.x version here
