[Forum] Moving Threads

[TwistedChaos95]

Okay, I don't know if this has already been asked, but I have a question about moving threads. When I moved some, they were still there (yes, they were moved as well to the correct forum), and there's a new icon and a label saying it has been moved. Is there anyway to just move them without all that? I just want to move the threads to a different forum, and no longer have them in that forum, I don't want the icon and label saying they've been moved. Thanks in advance for the help.

Sounds like it's a redirect....just untick the "Leave redirect" box when moving.

In the threads already moved, you can "Remove redirects" in the thread admin menu.

Thank you, I will have to remember that when moving threads. For the ones already moved, what exact part of the admin cp is that located at?

It's not in the Admin CP.

In the forum where the redirects are, just select the threads with "Moved" and delete them.

Here's a quick and dirty template edit if you don't want the redirect box ticked when you move threads:

In template threadadmin_movethread;
Find this and remove the red code:

<label><input type="checkbox" name="enableredirect" id="redirect" value="1" class="dep_ctrl" tabindex="1" checked="checked" /> {vb:rawphrase yes}</label>

Okay, I wasn't sure if that deleted the actual threads, thanks.

Nice little trick, thank you.

Nope. It just deletes the redirects.

It didn't work, it's still checked for some reason when I go to move threads. I did this in the template editor of my default style, so I don't know what's wrong.

If there is no 'checked' attribute in the code, the checkbox shouldn't be checked.

Okay, when I first edited the template code, it must not have went through right away or something because it was still checked by default. I just checked now and it is not checked by default. Thanks for the help, guys.
