"Ask a question" w/ redirect to login

[cmeinck]

If you look at Apple's forums, they have a box that welcomes visitors to ask a question. If they are not logged in, they get directed to a login/register box. Anyone who takes the time to type a question is probably more likely to take the time to register. It also makes the process of that first post incredibly easy. Once asked, perhaps forum admins can push a list of forum categories, so that a next step for the user would be to select the appropriate forum category. That or perhaps it goes into moderation.

bump, has there been any development on this?

I have paid for @AndyB to develop this "Ask A Question":

Maybe someone else could help contribute to the login button if not logged in, Andy may be up for it too - but we should donate to this awesome plugin.

Here is our live example:

Thank you very much @Dan Hawkins
That's a great start, I'd like the mod to then be able to post a thread to the forums they choose too!

It's a pleasure, I wanted this feature for ages - AndyB is a credit to the plug-in community as he went above and beyond with this one!
