I figured out how to do it. If I could only get it to be automatically populated though, without having to manually enter each forum.
Yeah... it's not hard to do. Anyone can look at the HTML source here to see how it's done (from an HTML/JavaScript point of view). Although you probably want to make it auto-generated, otherwise users are going to see forums they might not see otherwise (based on their permissions). In my case, it was really about having a DHTML based menu so we can do this... (drag and drop thread movement for mods/admins) http://www.seroundtable.com/archives/dp-forum-moderating.mov
Yeah I need to figure out the auto-generated part. I did manage to just add in permissions for the few forums I did not want people to have access to, seems to be working. Just a pain to have to modify when adding new forums. That is pretty cool on the moving forums thing. From the video it looks like the jump menu is coming up when you click on a thread for administrators. I assume to move things. Anyways, it is a nice feature. Good job.
