I apologise if this *really* is covered elsewhere. I have looked, honest. There appear to be two MODs that might address my need (I think they are called Merge Topic and Split Topic) but nothing I have read so far convinces me of a definitive answer and I hope someone here can help me.
What I should like to be able to to is to move a Topic (the topic and all its replies - I think you call this a thread) from one forum to another.
My colleages and I are tracking some updates to our web site by creating topics in a forum (let's call it "Updates" for the sake of argument). I have created also a second forum (in the same category), called "Updates [COMPLETED]". You can see where this is going, I suspect... 
As we clear an Update item (represented by a Topic) from our list, I should like to simply move the Topic and its replies to the "Updates [COMPLETED]" forum.
I thought this was possible with the standard build but when I went looking for the admin function, I could not find it. I should really appreciate it if someone could steer me right.
Thanks.
-James.

** STOP PRESS **
Okay so I am dumb.
I just noticed that the Forum can be edited from within the edit function. So that seems to be all there is to it.
Having said that, once the new forum owns the topic, the Topics count shows zero (even though it now does own some topics) and the Last Post date is blank. Is that by design I wonder?

Thanks for that.
I think the behaviour I saw was "by mistake" - my mistake.
The server where the forum is hoted does not support SMTP and I had left the forum configured with Email ON. Thus when I attempted the update to move the topic to the other forum, the forum software tried to send some email, I guess, and it ran into an error and the page bombed out. It presumably never got to complete all the updates it was going to do.
I will try that Update Forum Counts feature.

Seems your forum was configured to notify the posted about the topic move and errored out on the email sending, so the count updates never took place.
Anyway, now you know why it failed and fixed it . |
