Isn't it better to adjust the forums software then, to show that the thread has moved? In phpBB based forums moving a thread to a different forum leaves a shadow of the thread behind in the forum it was moved from. Clicking on the thread link will transport you to the correct thread in the correct forum. These shadow threads stay in place for the duration of a day, or so. Then they disappear as everyone should by now know where the thread moved to. -- -- Jord. _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
