It's a minor request but I'd like to see this moderator function changed slightly. It is necessary to have a way of telling a user if their topic has been moved somewhere else, but leaving a permanent link is untidy imo especially in forums that don't get a lot of new topics daily. Maybe add a new box on the mod form so that you can "leave a link" for "x days" and after that it gets automatically removed. An alternative or addition might be to have a tickbox that when checked will notify the topic starter by PM of the new location of their topic.

It would stop those "where did my topic go!!??!?!" complaints when you don't leave a permanent link.

Use the purge forum feature, set to filter last X days and redirect topics only.

I want to see it admin configurable, which options will be given, be able to move with redirects of whatever different amounts of time the admin makes selectable, and ability to disable the permanent redirect option, can we have that in IPB 3 please. ^^;;;
