Moving posts

   I read a thread about moving posts dated about a year ago ( http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/moving-a-post#post-6175 ). Any news on a plugin for moving wrongly placed posts to another forum? This is an issue that comes up quite often with many forums posters not payimg attention to forum names.

   Moving topics is of course built in.
   Moving posts should not be done even though there is an old plugin to do so.

   The reason for this is because bbPress has no internal hooks to "announce" a post is being moved and it will break plugins that track data and count on posts remaining in their original topics. It can eventually cause some corruption.

   If you don't use plugins or don't care about corruption, the old move-it plugin may do what you want, but strongly consider the warning.

   Thanks CK, all I wanted was to move a topic to a new forum and couldn't find the feature. Now I see it and I'm very glad it's available.
