Ipb Question

[LeeGoldsmith]

If a post is posted to one topic can it be moved to another topic??

 

If so how?

 

Thanks for the help

My guess is Yes, but I'm not going to load a vulnerable version of exploited software to test it out.

 

Generally you can only do so when logged in as a moderator.

 

However, you REALLY should consider switching to an updated, supported version of a forum software. There are many good ones out there than will import your IPB users/posts practically seamlessly.

 

Continuing to use IPB 1.2 is really not a good idea.

I'll agree with Paul here. If you don't want to pay for a licence for IPB (or vB for that matter), there's always phpBB or SMF (personally I recommend SMF but that's a matter of preference)

Let's see if I understand the question.

 

You have a post in one thread that you want to move to another thread. If so, yes you can do it if it's the same as version 2+

 

Log in as a moderator, find the post in question, there should be a check box to the upper right of the post, check it. At the bottom right of the thread there should be a drop down box and to the right of that is a button that should say "With Selected (1)". Select Merge Post in the drop down and click the "With Selected (1)" button.

 

Enter the link to the thread you want to merge the post into.

 

If that wasn't what you meant then please rephrase the question. If it is what you meant and you don't have that feature I don't know how to do it.

Thanks Bruce

 

I don't have that feature so I guess I'm SOL. I really need to upgrade to SMF but have been putting it off, now that it is self install with fantastico I should do it.

 

Thanks again.

There are converters for SMF

[cajunman4life]

There's quite a few happy SMF users here (myself, I have 3 boards). So if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Also, the SMF forums on their website are helpful as well.

SMF is an excellant forum, just as long as you convert to any, it doesnt matter, long as your not using an unsecure forum which you are at present
