One more feature request.

[Eric.]

I'm not sure if there is currently anything like this yet, but if not here is what I am requesting. A moderation option to copy a topic, an easy way to make a carbon copy of a topic to another forum.

For example. If someone posts, lets say a "New Users Guide". But I want members to be able to reply to it if they have questions - An announcement won't work. I only want it in the 3 most popular forums. A member can create the topic, and I can copy that topic to another forum I choose. A new topic ID is made, but with the same author/content. A feature that says "Copy All Replies (Y/N)" or something like that would be nice to, if I don't want to duplicate the replies.

Is there currently a way to do this that I'm missing?

As far as I'm aware, there is no way of completing this currently.

Though, your suggestion does make sense; however can't you just get the author to copy and paste the topic?

That could take a while W4C. A suggestion to this: (If implemented) be able to 'mass' copy it. Say you want it in 10 forums instead of just 2 or 3; but you dont' want to keep going back to the original and selecting it from a drop down box. What about a list of the forums with a check box next to it.


Also an option (ACP forum?) of weather the forum can or can't have copied topics -- if can't don't show the forum (no check box in the moderator option's).

Maybe the ability to 'share' a topic between forums would be good. Whereby if there is reply in the topic in one forum, it goes to the duplicate in another forum.

Maybe this is a little bit out of the range of a forum software.

Very true, but if the author isn't around and you want the author's name to appear, then you can create a new topic copy/paste the BBCODE. But to get the author's name to show up you need to edit the post in something like phpmyadmin, I just think a Duplicate Topic feature would come in handy.
