Add new plugin - forum support thread

When adding a new plugin, there's an option to automatically create a support thread or choose a thread from a list of existing ones. My plugin already has a support thread (as part of the announcement).

I have just submitted a plugin and the list of existing threads seems to be pulling data from decades ago. It seems like the list is randomly generated because I got a completely different list on a reload. However, I was not able to choose the correct thread so now I'll have to contact Scott to manually update it and link the thread to the plugin.

Suggestion: add a regular input field and allow posting a link to the support thread. Of course, validate the URL to make sure it points to the forums.

Cheers!
I'm assuming that's why I received the email saying the plugin has been approved, but it's not and the "View Plugin" takes me to a 404? It was just your edit that triggered this email?

Hey, guess what - new bug! 😄
