Lack of interest Automatic moving of topics based on pre-fix

[Sal Collaziano]

Many of my forums have a "lounge" or "general discussion" area for off-topic discussions. For some reason many people post there instead of the forum related to their message. I'd like to force the user to select a pre-fix in order to post their message - and have the system move that post to a pre-specified forum based on their choice.

If you can get this going and have it ready by Monday, I'd appreciate it.

I think this addon by @AndyB might do what you need, https://xenforo.com/community/resources/auto-move-by-prefix.7792/

Thank you. I tried that but it only works for one pre-fix per XenForo installation.

And this free add-on: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/prefix-actions.6101/

Interesting. I will look into that. Thank you...

Yes, that might work as well.

Yes, that might work as well.

I was a little surprised you didn't suggest it, since I thought you manage it now. xD

I'll give it a shot. I already tried Andy's...

 

[Ozzy47]

I do, but I have so many I forget what I do have.

On the note of the suggestion, I'd suggested it once before, and Snog's add-on has mostly met the need.
I still think it's too bad that XF is missing so many features that are basic core features in other softwares, but really can't complain if a free add-on does the trick. But nevertheless, you have my upvote.
