Forgive me if I'm not exactly clear on this, but I'm working for a client who's business is not in my...genre of work.

On their Drupal site, I have the Forum module being used. The client wants it so when a technician posts a topic in a certain category, it will pop up a message reminding them to e-mail their distributer about their post, as the post is in a request info forum. The forum has a couple of different containers with categories in each, only 2 of the containers are "request information" containers.

Forum > Request Technical Electronic Information > (categories) > (topics)*
Forum > Request Technical Information > (categories) > (topics)*
Forum > Share Technical Information > (categories) > (topics)

only the first 2 need to have that message appear.

So far I've thought of it this far:

--Distributors are added via admin page or some type of database module?
--Have the technician select their distributor via "my account"/profile
--Custom module that on a forum post submittion, check to see if it's in the request container. If so, show the message displaying distributor contact info based on that users profile.

It's pretty confusing for me even, so if anyone has any idea at all please reply.
