Overview: With mobile devices becoming more and more prevalent, the average IQ of people finding your site is declining...at a shocking pace. There was a time, not too long ago, before the pestilence of mobile devices and social media, that internet users were tech savvy people using desktop computers and forming complete sentences. Those were good times. Increasingly, this new generation of internet users lacks the brain power to successfully navigate vBulletin's insuperable labyrinth consisting of "choose forum -> click forum -> click post new thread." To be honest, I don't particularly value such users or want them polluting the site with their pinhead musings, but hey, we've got to remain competitive and this requires dumbing things down a bit for the facebook junkies and iPhone users. This product allows you do display a large, nearly impossible to miss button, directly below the breadcrumbs (on selected pages) that will make it easier for your users to post new threads. The added element consists of three parts: a message to the user welcoming them and instructing them on how to use the element to start a new thread, a dropdown menu from which they can choose a forum in which they have permission to post new threads (with forum categories in bold red and non-selectable), and a large button they can click once they have selected a forum which loads the newthread form to post a new thread in the forum they selected. You have 8 pre-defined linear gradient schemes (cross-browser compatible) from which to choose for the background color of the button, or you can use your own, with a choice to define separate schemes for each style using your StyleVars. If a user has not selected a forum, then the tooltip for the button tells them they must choose a forum first. If they click the button anyway, then a popup alert repeats the fact that a forum must be chosen first. Once they select a forum, the tooltip for the button changes to tell them they may click the button to post a new thread in the selected form, and the name and description of the forum they selected is shown to help make certain they have made the correct choice. They are essentially doing the same thing as if they had gone to a forum and clicked "+ Post New Thread," but now the button isn't carefully hidden behind the curtain of the link to the forum they want. Everything is fully phrased and stylevars are used wherever applicable. Updates: Version 1.01:

Child forums are included, so if you are selecting all of your categories, then no forums will show up.

Your settings shouldn't change then...they don't change for me if I do an upgrade.

I would think most people who wish to exclude forums will only exclude a few...I have to think of the majority here.

Like I said, I don't know what to tell you. It doesn't change any of the other settings, just the excluded forums.

Well, as I stated a few posts back, I would have to come to your site with admin access to try to figure out what specific issue there is preventing it from being displayed.

Okay...I've got it rendering below your "Featured Threads" list and above the shoutboxes. If you would like it in another location, please let me know.

Version 1.5:
I have already installed version 1.5 on your site. Now the element shows up below all of DBTech's elements. You see, DBTech has replaced your "navbar" template with their own, and my product adds the new thread button to the bottom of the "navbar" template being used. Recall, we went though this same issue with the "Featured Threads" product. I didn't want you to have a hacked version of this product on your site, which would prevent you from any further updates. When I update the "Featured Threads" product, I will include support for DBTech's template replacement as well for it.
