The Major BBS Forums (Archive)

I need to figure out how to put in an option in certain menus where people can go straight in to a certain forum. I've seen it on a few other bbses and even tried just selecting a command as a module page (forums) and put the optional commands as S FORUMNAME. What that does is change the forum you're defaulted as but it doesn't actually put anyone in the forum menu for that forum.

Their are over three pages for command line options for the email/forums.
If you can tell me what you want to do I can give you the string.
For the above....

S (forum name) selects the forum but then dumps you out of the module back to were you were.

S(forum name) selects the forum and keeps you in the forums.

NOTE THE SPACE!!
