Just a suggestion to the mods... like whenever you move a topic from one section to he other, it would be nice if you posted a link to the new thread in the old one. Would be more convinient and less confusing.... I mean if it's easy to do. If you have to go to the new thread, copy the stuff and than post it back and think it's too much work to do, than just ignore me <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> i'm just a lazy ass <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

Actually its really easy.  Instead of closing the topic and basically making a copy of it in another forum what I usually do (and think is the best way to do it) is moving to topic while only leaving behind the topic title (so the topic poster doesn't think it was deleted) and when you click to go into the topic it says that the topic has been moved...taking you to thread in newlocation or whatever.  Hopefully other mods will do this to make things less confusing. <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

I thought the way DSC explained it was the most logical way, who does'nt move them like that :confused:

Uhhhh here is an example:
Old: #/f....t=15810 (#/f/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=9;t=15810)
New: #/f....t=15886 (#/f/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=1;t=15886)

The old one [in WTB] has 3 replies the new one [in Chat] has 16.... i waited for like 3 minutes and nothing happened... <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/eh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':eh:'>

But yeah, DSC's way would be simpler i guess

All I do when moving topics is, from the dropdown menu, choose "Leave just the topic linking to the new destination." Then the topic in the old forum is locked and new one opened. However, if one of the moderators chooses to, they can go into that topic and open it back up. That would make it a duplicate.
