How about just a reply to a specific post number, that way the user can actually chose the forum and reply to a specific post as necessary?

That's certainly easy enough to do - just add a field for "reply to post #" and away you go. But it's tough to ask everyone to remember the 7 digit number that corresponds to the post they want.

By having a quick pop-up menu of targets wih a default, it is not necesary to add the number.

It is possible to have both, but then you might have someone see the "reply to post #" box and enter the wrong thing, etc. Since you can't read the threads, the ability to specify a post to reply to may be more confusing than useful.

My instincts tell me to keep it a simple pop-up of target threads.
