IPS4: Move posts from one forum to another (emptying original prior to deleting)

Featured Replies

Posted

Guys we've got the situation where we want to move all the posts from a couple of forums (which we will be closing) into another (current parent) forum. With the old IP.Board I'm sure I remember having a 'move' post facility in the ACP. Now all I can see are:

So what is the right methodology? If I use 'Empty' does it prompt you with the option to move the posts into another forum?

Hopefully some kind soul can advise ,you can appreciate me being cautious!

The "Empty" option will give you an option to move the content. But if you choose to delete the forum, you will also be prompted on what you want to do with the content, such as delete it (not what you want), or move it to a new forum (this is what you want).

Right, so either can be used with no issues then?

You will want to use "delete" in this case and choose the option to move your content.
