There is a better version here:
http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?threadid=114388

NOTE: To use this mod you have to disable the WYSIWYG editor option. Go to vBulletin Options > Message Posting Interface Options and set Full Editor to "Enable Standard Controls".

This product will ask the user if they are sure that they are in the correct forum before posting a new thread. If they click "Yes" then the New Thread box will appear immediately (via AJAX).

If they are not in the correct forum, they will be able to choose a different forum from a drop-down box (similar to forum jump). When they choose a different forum it automatically takes them to a new thread in that forum, where they are asked to confirm again.

This should save a lot of headaches with people posting in the wrong forums. It reduces thread-moves.
