I had the same concern, i.e., moving threads to a graveyard type forum. I was thinking perhaps the code could be changed so that if the thread was moved to (whatever keyword you have for this type forum) the members would receive a different PM -- one that said something like "This post was removed because . . ." and not list where it was removed to. Of course I don't know PHP, so I have no idea if this would be hard or not. <img src="/forum/images/icons/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Well, I prefer a public marker rather than PM when a thread is moved, because that way all onlookers know what happened to the thread.<br /><br />But I would NOT want users automatically notified that their post/thread was killed (i.e. moved out of view), via PM OR via marker, cuz it would be an admin nightmare to handle all the complaints (especially on real busy boards).<br /><br />If I want to notify a poster of a deletion, it's easy enough to do so. The program shouldn't force that notification, it's too delicate an issue.<br /><br />Just MHO....<br /><br /><br />JIM

Just dont make it always leave a marker. That could be a nightmare, not only because of what you say, but because of having a whole bundh of markers. <br />Sometimes you want to move an old thread, no need to leave marker. Other times 3 persons have seen the thread, no need to leave the marker. It just depends on situations.<br />Never make it unconditionally put a marker. It should be an option.

MTO, the issue of board clutter would be addressed by having the markers set to self destruct, no?<br /><br />But, sure....I see no problem with having markers be an option when moving threads...and having it default to off. That solution would address my concerns as well, and head off a programming nightmare (of having to configure to NOT leave markers when moving to non-public boards).

Hai.<br /><br />It does'nt work on my 6.1 version. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />

Can you provide any error description?<br />It's working on my 6.1.1 development board

Hi,<br /><br />I too am having some problems with this (using 6.1.1). The thread is moved without any problems, but no PM is send (or at least not received).<br /><br />Suggestions?<br /><br />Sanuk!<br /><br />PS I already changed the references to 'w3t_Boards' to '{$config['tbprefix']}Boards'
