Topic: Moving Threads

Is there a way to move a Thread from one forum to another?

Thanks,

Re: Moving Threads

One knuckleheaded suggestion (as I'm still figuring things out) is to change the forum_id of the post using SQL?

Go into a thread and look under the posts (you have to be admin, obviously) smile

It's in the footer.

Re: Moving Threads

I need a way to move a LOT of threads to another forum. I have 13k now and its been 21 days, during our busy season we will hit that in about 7 days. I dont want to prune them, I want to move a large chunk of them to an empty and hidden board so they can still be accessed.

Re: Moving Threads

update topics set forum_id=new_fid where forum_id=old_fid and posted > UNIX_TIMESTAMP() - 60 * 60 * 24 * 21

Beyond that, I don't know what to tell you.
