So...is this possible? Let's say you reply to this very post and later, I want to move JUST YOUR reply to another topic. I know...sounds crazy...but someone at my company wants to be able to move only a few messages in a Topic to another Topic.
Thanks!

Hi, Kevin. At this point, you can't. Sounds like a design request to me.

This you CAN do....The moderator of the forum can move a topic by editing the topic. The topic and all it's replies are then moved to the appropriate topic.
What Kevin wanted to do is take a reply and create a new topic altogether from it. That we can't do. This we can't do. From my perspective, that would be a coding nightmare....

I would love the ability to be able to move just a single reply to a different topic as sometimes people get carried away within a discussion about some personal stuff (which I don't want to delete right away), thus being able to move those replies to a 'look this is better here' topic (you might even create before the move yourself) would definately be welcomed smile

Sorry to disturb Gor, I tried and successed, sorry to slow the progress of the snitz....... But I'd like to get a icon to move it directly.

One topic probably wouldn't be that big of a deal. Moving multiple replies into one topic would be nearly impossible....

So how DO you edit topics? I'm in admin_home and can't find anything at all. I want to change the test category to another name or delete it. Where are these commands? I am moderator of the category. Just downloaded and installed 4/12.
TIA,
Mitch

Park your mouse over the various icons on the rh area of the page and look at the tooltips that pop up. You'll find the links there to create, edit, & delete categories, forums, etc.

Can the topic be all moved together to another FORUM?

Moving a single reply from one Topic to a completely different topic hasn't been done yet, correct? Maybe I'm clueless to something, but I don't think it would be too difficult to do this.
What would have to be done is changing the cat/forum/topic id's in the reply record.
Decrease the count for one topic while increasing the other topic and anywhere else if needed.
What would be sort of messy is the process of selecting the topic where you want it moved to. How would you make it easy for a moderator to select the new topic without showing 3000+ topics on larger forums. Filter by Category, then Forum - showing topics in a listbox? Or do you have the moderator type in the topic id number that they want the reply moved to? Or?
Is there something I'm missing?
