Can I merge 2 Topics?


My problem is that I appear to have 2 similar topics running in the same section of our forum and what I'd like to do is merge them together, but I cannot see quite how to do this?
Any suggestions would be very gratefully received. emoticon

Thanks In Anticipation

Rob

Hi Rob,

there is no automated way to do this, sorry. You could copy posts over into one thread by hand, that's the only way possible. Using the quote function, you can keep the individual posts attributed to the orginal posters. (Hit "Quote" on the post you want to copy, copy the entire thing and paste it into the answer box in the other thread.)

In addition, you could close one of the two threads, so people continue posting in only one of them.

I'm sorry there is no good alternative for merging threads.

Re: Can I merge 2 Topics?


Ah... I was going to ask this question but decided to have a look first. I was hoping there would be a way to merge two similar threads so the posts would migrate in order of posting date. Guess I'll live with two threads as both are several pages long and doing your 'quote' suggestion would take way too much time.

Any plans on making it possible to merge threads into one? emoticon

Hi Arassuil,

I hope we'll be able to add that capability eventually, but unfortunately, it isn't at the top of the to-do list.

Hi Arassuil,

You cannot merge two topics but you can move the topics to another forum. I look more similar topics when I create new forums so the new forum gets a nice activity start after I have created it. That's the best/easiest thing I can suggest at this time.

Re: Can I merge 2 Topics?


I'm not going to worry about it. I consolidated a few forums and I have two really good "Books" threads each about 3 pages long. If there was an easy way to merge them I'd do it, but decided it wouldn't work anyway. Thanks much for the answers!

What you can do is to close one topic, so people won't keep posting in both of them. And eventually, one of them is going to be obsolete.

You can also c/p content from one topic and repost it in the other, if there is content you really want to keep.

Hope that helps. emoticon

Re:


I'd like to be able to merge topics, if you are still taking votes. In some situations, some people post at around the same time, so we have two topics that really should just be one thread.

Hi Mom4Gloria,

We are always accepting feedback, and I appreciate your post. The more people who voice their support for a particular feature request, the more likely I think it will be to move it higher on Thor's priority list. I personally think the ability to merge and split topics would be very helpful for this particular board and many others.

Edit: After making this post, I realized it was in the Q&A forum, so I moved it to Feature Requests just now.
