Implemented Move single posts directly to an existing thread

[Stuart Wright]

There is an option to move a post from an existing thread into a new thread.
But I can't see the option to move it into an existing thread.
Is this functionality missing? Because we need it.

Currently you have to move the post to the forum as a new thread and then merge it with the other thread.

I have moved this thread to suggestions, as it is a needed feature.

It just seems odd this would be over looked... I realize its Beta but hopefully we see this in Beta 2...

At the moment

You have to create a new thread by "moving" the single post and then merge that new thread with the other existing thread.

It would be nice if I could move single posts directly to an existing thread (without the merge).

Am I missing this option somewhere?

You can move posts into a new thread but not seemingly into an existing thread?

 

[Paul B]

It's a 2 step process.

Move them to a new thread, then merge the threads.

Why is "merge threads" not available from the thread tools dropdown within a thread?

 

[Paul B]

It's only available from the tools on the main list view, not within a thread.

 

[RobParker]

Yeah I realised that, was just wondering why as you'd expect it to be available from within the thread tools dropdown. Maybe move this to suggestions?

 

[Paul B]

Which is the suggestion?

To be able to move posts from one thread directly to another?

Or for the merge threads option to be available within the thread tools dropdown?

 

[RobParker]

Both I guess?

It's a bit surprising that the basic functionality isn't available and the alternative is a 2-step process which seems a bit inelegant.

 

[Marcus]

Very much needed, I'd consider it a core function. From all my suggestions, this is definitely priority 1.

Is this possible now?

I created a new thread - and need an older thread merged into that but with the NEW first post and not the old ones first.

I know this was a problem with vB - it would automatically choose the oldest post to be the first posts and merge the others in to fit with the dates ... But that's not what I need.

Suggestions before I try and f** it all up?

Thanks

 

[Paul B]

Nothing has changed.

It's still a two step process to move posts from one thread to another and posts are still sorted on date order.

 

[Lykke]

aww oh well - thanks for fast reply tho

 

[Bellinis]

Very much needed! Please add this to the core

i have 'liked' the OP as a vote indication, i have had to split off threads to there own also. after 15 plus years of running my board, i really would be lost without that feature to control conversations in an orderly fashion

+1


from here too, seem that there are two thread [similar in nature]about the same.

This is a must have feature.
Hope devs include this

Its alarming to see that a basic feature like 'moving posts' is in the 'suggestions' section for almost 2 years with no fix or even a response from the staff. This should be a standard feature no?
