Change Post Destination

[Wormopolis]

Browser Tested: IE and FF
placement: BOARD footer

this code has 3 modes.
mode 1: you can force all new threads created to end up in a different board you specify. the variable at the top will let you choose which board they go to.

mode 2: you can have it create a drop down list, based off the boards it finds in the forumjump, that the member can select where their post ends up

mode 3: you can create your own dropdown list of boards to restrict which boards the member can choose.

do NOT place in global footer or all new threads will be affected by this code.
