| Well, you could if you wanted to - bu you'd have to change a lot of code to get the ID when supplied with the description. Actually I thought Snitz USED to work like this and they changed it. |

| Former versions of Snitz used the querystring to pass the forum titles as well as the forum-id, while the current version uses a sql-query based upon the forum-id to get the forum title and the category title. As far as I can tell, Snitz has always used only numbers for forum-id. |

| no, the code for that version also uses the forum_id to identify the correct forum. you would have to do extensive changes like laser said to get that to work. |

I've probably misunderstood your request (as always!), but, if you just want to make this change when providing links to people for use outside your forums all you'd need to do is replace (line 48, forum.asp):if (Request("FORUM_ID") = "" or IsNumeric(Request("FORUM_ID")) = False) and (Request.Form("Method_Type") <> "login") and (Request.Form("Method_Type") <> "logout") then
Response.Redirect "default.asp"
else
Forum_ID = cLng(Request("FORUM_ID"))
end ifWith something like:if IsNumeric(Request("FORUM_ID")) = false then
Select Case Request("FORUM_ID")
Case "Support"
Forum_ID = 1
Case "Title 2"
Forum_ID = 2
Case "Title 3"
.
.
.
Case Else
if Request.Form("Method_Type") <> "login" and Request.Form("Method_Type") <> "logout" then
Response.Redirect "default.asp"
end if
End Select
else
Forum_ID = cLng(Request("FORUM_ID"))
end ifObviously you'd need to do a ChkString on Request("FORUM_ID") to alleviate any potential security issues.

| oh yuck !!! .... hardcoding forum IDs is like pointing a loaded gun at your head (one hiccup and you're dead). It would be MUCH better to replace your Select Case with a database call to figure out what the forum id is. |

Yup, I agree, was just trying to make things as easy as possible (i.e., no db modification) plus it was early and I didn't have any caffeine inside me!  Definitely not my best thought out piece of advice!
