I'm not always online in all my boards... ( to be honest, 50% of my boards i'm only visiting to check if they're working and to do some admin works..)
Because you can't have more e-mail recivers for the contact formular like in vB, i would get ALL messages, even the uninteressting, which can be handeled by my team...
So we're posting all the stuff to a intern team(staff) forum, where the mods can handle the message and contact me if necessary...
Also it's a nice way to track & share with the team, instead of having only 1 recipient
I have modified it for my own site so that there is a drop down list on the contact form where each option relates to a thread prefix and allows us to categorise our different contact types.
I can share the code for this if anyone wants, but I'd classify it as a bit of a "hack" rather than anything of a decent quality.

The important things here are the <select name="prefix"> as we call that later and the value parameter within the <option> tags. The value has to match the thread prefix ID you noted earlier. The text within the <option> tags is just how you want each option to appear in the list.
Once your contact template is complete, it's time to make a small adjustment to one of ragtek's files:
I have it implemented in my 1.2.4 installation, and it works GREAT. As we say in Germany "second best, after sliced bread!" You do not have to check your mailbox, you just see it in a forum you define to catch the contact forms. Great!
