Notify when a topic is moved/ merged


Recommended Posts

Sorry if a suggestion already exists for this, I searched and couldn't see any.

It would be nice to receive a notification when a topic we post on is moved to a different subforum. Far too frequently, people will say 'that's irrelevant, as you can see by the subforum this is in', and you don't know if you've just given incorrect information out of ignorance by not checking the topic, or if it was due to it being correct in the original location, and it then being moved. It would be nice to know so we can say for sure, 'Sorry, the topic was moved and this was correct when I posted.'

Or even better, some form of logging in the thread itself. Like, you have your posts, and then if the topic is moved, at that point it creates a small message saying that it was moved from X subforum, to Y subforum, and then posts continue on from there. A similar system for merges would be nice- Often you'll have people suggest in a small thread with one or two people, 'There's a lot of information about X bug in this thread' and link to a larger thread, and then those two threads get merged, and people start hounding that person, saying, 'Oh but you just linked to the same thread this is on!'. Maybe a small notification under every post that was merged into the larger thread says 'Originally posted in X thread', or something to that effect, could help alleviate this issue.
