How timely! I am working on euForum right now. I'll incorporate as many of these changes as I can. If anyone else wishes to add in their feature requests, do so now!
btw... What I had envisoned for multiple forums is, not multiple forums, but a category. Here's what a post form would look like:
Subject: [Installing wxWidgets - Howto?___________________________]
Category: [wxWidgets________ +]
Body: [______________________________________________]
[______________________________________________]
[______________________________________________]
[Preview] [Post]
Now the Category is a combo box. It will default to "General". Further, the main message list will have the same combo box for a selection but will also include an option (which will be the default) titled "All".
The problem with Euphoria and Multiple Forums right now is that EuForum does not see enough use to warrant seperate forums and seperate forums would create a forum system that looks dead. For instance, the last post on wxWidgets would be a few days old, on database programming may be 50 days old, etc...
What do you think about this idea?
About the "Preview" and "Post"... I hit post all the time because it's quick but later realize, I should have previewed first 
... The updated forum is going to allow the original posted the ability to edit their post w/in the first 30 minutes. I was considering doing as the wiki does, force a preview before accepting the post, but I wonder with the ability to edit the post, if that will be enough?
