Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted August 12, 200816 yr I think it would be good if (when moving a topic and leaving a "Moved" link) , there was also an option available to remove this after a set time period. I suppose it could be either a global set limit (in the ACP for every forum) , ie remove the links after x hours. Or, perhaps selectable for each move operation (more flexible) , I just made a quick mock-up pic anyway... :)
August 12, 200816 yr That would be great because I don't even put the link because it gets so messy but then some people lose their posts.
August 12, 200816 yr Better would be if the moved link appears to those who have viewed the topic earlier than the moved date. For members who are reading the topic for the first time there is no need to stick moved icon for them.
August 12, 200816 yr Moved links are wonderful for newer members or people new to forums. But having a set expiration date would be nice, as those moved links are generally ugly.
August 13, 200816 yr +5 to the suggestion. And PLEASE, change the "moved post" link behavior to be marked "read" by default, instead of "unread". As it stands now, you have to explcitly mark the whole forum read to get rid of the New Post icon on the forum main page, when there's a link within that forum. The moved post ALREADY shows up as new in the forum to which it was moved. Visitors will see it.
August 13, 200816 yr You can just use the prune function to get rid of moved links....but still a nice idea for the sake of convenience :)
August 18, 200816 yr You can just use the prune function to get rid of moved links....but still a nice idea for the sake of convenience :) ++ Just use Mass Remove (Prune). and my old idea of, "Auto-PM Topic Starter that their topic has been moved" ;-)
August 18, 200816 yr Great idea. That would be great because I don't even put the link because it gets so messy but then some people lose their posts.You could also solve that problem with my solution (my topics list) here: http://forums.invisionpower.com/index.php?showtopic=276114
August 18, 200816 yr There is already the Topic and Posts feature in the Profile but it would still be more helpful the way described. ;)
August 19, 200816 yr Yeah, I think it's way to "complicated" to need to view two lists that isn't easy accessible like the one I showed you there, and it stops people from discovering new posts in topics that haven't been active for a while. But we can take that discussion in it's own topic. ;)

It kind of makes it look messy with a lot of moved topic links all over the place. I normally just do not bother making one.
August 29, 200816 yr I normally just do not bother making one. Same. Even on my small forum it's annoying having to go back and remove them after a while.
August 29, 200816 yr Yep it sure is. I just Pm the member who created the topic that I moved it and where I moved it to. You know what might be nice as well a feature I saw in ocf and thats an email is sent out to any one who has replied to the topic including the Topic creater telling them it was moved.
September 1, 200816 yr i gotta say i want this too, i made a task script to do it on my board a long time ago so its easy peasy!
