[Suggestion] Remove "Moved" links after a certain time

Recommended Posts

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...

+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.

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" ;-)

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. ;)

I like that idea very much. 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.

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.
