edivad Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 same if the thread is closed, deleted or a his post is edited.. or something like this. it maybe usefull :)
Wolfie Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 That would be better off as a mod. Ask in the mod support forum, someone might hop on it because that would be useful for many people. :)
Strike X Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 I like that idea... Can it be done by Hook? Im not sure...
edivad Posted June 18, 2009 Author Posted June 18, 2009 Thank you wolfie, and yes i'm pretty sure it can be done trought hack, but it would be really great to have this feature by default, having the ability to disable/enable it from admincp.
Amy T Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 I would love to see some thing like this. Very helpful feature. :)
edivad Posted June 19, 2009 Author Posted June 19, 2009 I would know what the staff thinks about this!
bfarber Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 It's not a bad idea, if there was an on/off setting. That's my personal opinion on this. ;) Would allow me to move some topics without having to leave the "Moved to:" link.

bfarber Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 You might be able to do it via a hook, though it could be challenging since so much of the moderator functionality is handled through a separate class file. I haven't looked into it.
Wolfie Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 [quote name='bfarber' date='19 June 2009 - 09:18 AM' timestamp='1245417515' post='1811609'] It's not a bad idea, if there was an on/off setting. That's my personal opinion on this. ;) Would allow me to move some topics without having to leave the "Moved to:" link. Brandon, if you decide to add it in (like in 3.1.x), I'd like to offer a few ideas... #1 per ACP, per forum (Off/Optional/Forced on) #2 per member group, option to override the "forced on" setting, so a super moderator, for example, might be able to skip notifying the topic creator. #3 be able to add the notify feature within multi-moderation functions (as either off/optional/forced on). If a forum has it as off or forced on, then that setting is honored (unless that member group allows override). If it's set to optional, then the multi-moderation setting is used. #4 per forum/multi-moderation, allow to notify [only topic starter/topic starter + others who posted in topic] and option to notify those who are forum leaders. I know, a lot of work, but hoping that if nothing else, it'll give you some ideas to toy with. :) Could be really useful, especially if there is that much control over it.
Amy T Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 OCF has this feature and it is very handy. I hope it does get added to 3.1.
Michael Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 I personally don't like this idea. I always get enough PMs about things that should be posted on the forums, this would be just one more thing that I'll need to answer questions about 'offline' instead of having the reason for the topic being moved being visible right there in the topic. Just use the shadow topic feature, and add a task that will clear those out after a few days, and topic starters will have no problems finding their moved topics.
Wolfie Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 I think that the only purpose of the PM would be to notify you and nothing more. Although come to think of it, I wonder if there would be a way for there to be a notification without it chewing up a PM slot. Where it would only be a notification with the only action being to keep or delete the notification.
3DKiwi Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 I would like this as well. It would save the occasional thread or pm "Where's my topic gone" that gets posted following the topic being moved to the correct forum. 3DKiwi

I would suggest a setting in the member controls though to turn off notifications from their moved topics tho.

Not my topics, but I'm the one who moves a lot of the topics, so I'm the one whose going to get asked why the topic was moved.

That's why it would be a good idea if it was a notification instead of a PM and then you'd have something about the forums rules or policies where it shouldn't be questioned unless the member is severely convinced that it was moved for the wrong reason or moved to the wrong place. But also, could always turn it off. :)

Can you add an option on the confirmation page to remove the "Moved to:" link after X days? VB has this and I think it's nice. Leave No Redirect Leave Permanent Redirect Leave Expiring Redirect Expires in (drop down, X hours/days/weeks//months/years) Redirect Title:
(e) Eric Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 I built a mod for that does this, called (e$30) PM Author on topic Moderation. It's available at invisionmodding.com now and I'll likely add it here soon. :)
bfarber Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 I like the idea of auto-expiring moved links. Would save from having to install a task to do this (which I know a lot of people did with 2.3)

• Jay • Posted November 13, 2011 Posted November 13, 2011 [quote name='Aisha' timestamp='1321165138' post='2195505'] Pretty sure this already exists. It does. :) System Settings > Forums > Topics, Posts and Polls > Auto remove redirect links (days)
