Delete node and attach threads to existing

[ChemicalKicks]

Sorry if this has been asked before but is it possible to delete a node and attach the threads contained within that node to an existing one, like a mass move on vBulletin?

No.
There is currently a bug whereby if you delete a node, all the threads within it will become orphaned.

I have also made a suggestion for what you have asked: http://xenforo.com/community/thread...oving-all-threads-when-deleting-a-forum.7033/

If you want to mass move threads, use this query:

UPDATE xf_thread
SET node_id = y
WHERE node_id = x

Where y is the new node and x is the existing node.

Brogan, as a work around do you think I could attach the forum to the existing forum I would like to move the threads to then delete it?

That still wouldn't work - the threads wouldn't automatically move from the child to the parent forum.

Dam.

Just I was reading your linked thread and you had mentioned the behaviour of child/parent forums.
