I searched through the forums and found that Split Posts from a thread was 'high on the list of things to add', in a post two years ago.

I've looked for it, but seem to be failing to find it miserably, lol.

Does YAF have these two features?

[list]

  • Splitting Posts from a thread.
  • Merging two threads into one thread.[/list]
  • Splitting Posts from a thread helps a lot because as surely you all know, many members will take a topic adrift and sometimes the second topic in the thread is worthy of a discussion itself.

    Merging Threads is helpful for when members accidentally create a thread that's ambiguous with another.

    Thank you and awesome friggin software too.

    I can't wait to completely convert my old PHP site over to DotNetNuke (hopefully I can find a C# source code rep) with these awesome forums.

    Can I echo the need for merge thread functionality. Would aid my site admins!

    We have recently started using YAF and it is great but we are really missing a Merge Topic function.

    With the previous forum, if one or more Users started a new topic that duplicated another, we could simply merge each new topic into the established topic so that all posts on a particular topic are listed together.

    I see this facility was requested in YAF quite some time ago.

    Does anyone know if/when there will be a Merge Topic function in YAF?

    Cheers, Bill

    Be aware that yaf already has a merge topic function, you can move messages to other topics via the Move Button inside the Message.

    I looked at the Move function, but it simply moves a topic from one forum to another.

    I guess that is why the button says "Move Topic".

    What we need is to merge two topics into one topic, in our case in the same forum.

    I will look out for a button named "Merge topic".........

    Same question as before, does anyone know when a Merge topic function will be available in YAF? (I gather it's been on the list of things to do for a couple of years.).
