Ability to move comments from a thread to a profile post

[MaximilianKohler]

Someone made an off-topic comment in a thread that would be more appropriate on someone's profile. I wanted to move the comment there but it doesn't seem to be possible.



Under "New thread - destination forum" there's no option for "profile", and if I paste the profile URL in the "existing thread" area it says "Oops! We ran into some problems. No thread ID could be found from that URL.".

It would require a custom add-on to be developed.

Threads/posts and profile posts are two different content types.

To clarify, this is a feature request.

I noticed that I can't even move profile posts from one profile to another. This should definitely be possible.



One of those doesn't even have a checkbox to take mod actions on.

In this scenario, someone made a comment on the wrong person's profile. The easiest thing to do would be to move it to the correct person's profile. But that's not currently possible.

The same goes for converting a conversation to a thread. Xenforo lacks a conversion function. That's why developers of major addons generally create conversion features themselves.

Here is a related suggestion, which unfortunately did not receive enough votes or likes.

Lack of interest Thread ''Convert thread' option'

Aug 30, 2017

In thread tools I have a long list of Convert options:
- Convert to Resource
- Convert to Ticket
- Convert to Wiki
- Convert to Blog
- Convert to Article
- Convert to Review
etc...

And this is only getting more as I add more addons and more addons add this very useful function. I still need a convert to media function.
This clogs up the drop down.
Please consider to add one 'convert thread' option that addons can use.

Thread 'Move Conversation to thread'

Mar 2, 2017

On my big board I get multiple conversations from my members per day which belong in the forum. For some reason new members mistake the function or think its appropriate to ask the staff general questions.

It would be very useful to have a function to convert conversations to threads. Please consider to add this.

Not only because the function is very useful to have, but also so that addons can implement the same function through a XF helper.
