In addition to this, what I would like to see is the ability to move a thread and have a link remain in the original forum.
After monkeying with this "move many threads" script I can see how one would go about leaving a link. I think 4 new fields would be needed in w3t_Posts.
B_MovedTo (stores the board keyword that the post was moved to)
B_MovedBy (stores the name of ther user that moved it)
B_MovedOn (stores when it was moved)
B_MovedNum (stores the number of the post that was moved)
When a post is moved a new post is made in the "from" forum to mirror the information of the post being moved.
Then as postlist.php cycles through the posts for the current forum and it runs accross posts that contain data in the above fields it would list the subject link and substitute board and post number with B_MovedTo and B_MovedNum information.
Also, I think some sort of note in the subject area should be displayed saying the post was moved. (post moved by JustDave on 06/29/02 11:35 PM)
Things like thread/post count should not be affected by "marker posts" though. (my opinion)
I believe that the "marker posts" is something that Rick has plans on developing in the future so I don't think I'll be doing anything with this.
