My moderators are too lazy to PM a user, when a thread is moved and invariably it leads to some griping by the movee (sp).
Sooo, this mod allows the thread move process to send a PM to the topic starter (or the poster, if it's posts within a thread) with the reason for the move.
I did this for 6.5.x and now it's updated for 7.1.1
screenie1 is the message that is sent, even if the moderator doesn't include a reason
screenie2 is the same, but with a reason.
Good luck.
Note: updated with bugfix + Ian's recommend on ability to NOT send PM.

Ok, i found a bug anyway. So now there is an option to allow the Mover to decide yes/no (thanks Ian), if they want to inform the topic starter/poster of the move and why.
If yes then they get a PM with a reason (only if one is supplied). Otherwise they are just informed of the move.
I also added the PM inform on when a Post and all of its replies are moved. Seemed reasonable. Little different wording on the PM and another template modified, but it functions the same.
Only thing i DON'T inform on is a topic move/merge. That is left up to the Moderator/Admin to decide what to do.
The readme.txt is updated in the first post above to reflect these changes.
I was just about to apply this mod and found the following.
In the readme file for step 2.
Quote
Open: /languages/english/movetpost.php
Find:
--- $ubbt_lang['REASON'] = "Reason for moving ---
Replace with:
--- $ubbt_lang['REASON'] = "Reason for moving (Sent along with PM)"; $ubbt_lang['SEND_PM'] = "Should a PM to post starter be sent?";
In our 7.1.1 installation we have no 'movetpost.php' (which is probably a typo) and the contents of the file there is no "REASON" line, here is the contents of our movepost.php file.
Quote
$ubbt_lang['CHOOSE_HEAD'] = "Move post & replies"; $ubbt_lang['MOVE_TO'] = "Move post & replies to:"; $ubbt_lang['MERGE_WITH'] = "Merge post & replies with Post#:"; $ubbt_lang['SUBMIT'] = "Submit"; ?>
