What is Thread Redirection?
Thread Redirection allows you to create a thread in your forum and set a redirection URL. When a user clicks the link to the thread they will be redirected to the the URL you provided.
This is based on the thread redirection system already built into XenForo when you move a thread from one forum to another. Because it acts like a regular post, you have to have some content in the message.
You could just use a link forum, but I wanted threads showing up in the forum, rather than subforums. I want to extend this more to hopefully knock out the known issues.
