But again, all plugins that store tracking information on topic id's will need updating, including a dozen of my own.</p> <p>So yes, you could manually do it, or even force it via move-it, but you will break your forum sooner or later. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/forum-moderation-merge-topics-etc#post-20394 Sun, 02 Nov 2008 10:22:46 +0000 Nekita 20394@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Since the move-it plugin is outdated, is there any other way to "manually" merge (or split) a topic for the time being?</p> <p>In my case I would like to add an Index reply as the first post to some of my older threads, is that possible? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/forum-moderation-merge-topics-etc#post-19159 Thu, 11 Sep 2008 09:55:43 +0000 Benzilla069 19159@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>This could help?</p> <p><a href="http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/move-it/" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/move-it/</a> </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/forum-moderation-merge-topics-etc#post-19157 Thu, 11 Sep 2008 03:17:51 +0000 Mirochai 19157@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Is there a way for me to easily merge Forums, topics, split topics and so forth?</p> <p>I would like to merge a couple of my forums.

Then bb-login handles the whole thing. In the login form, you would add that hidden form field to redirect then after login, as explained here.</p> <p><a href="http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/heres-a-trick-to-redirect-user-back-to-topic-after-login#post-14268" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/heres-a-trick-to-redirect-user-back-to-topic-after-login#post-14268</a> </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/merge-registration-pages#post-18163 Mon, 11 Aug 2008 20:53:33 +0000 mattbaehr 18163@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>How do I change the reg links?

Could be done izi I think, just put an id code with each forum and posts and filter on that ID.
