Splitting a topic, how?

[John_C]

OK, getting frustrated.

I tried to split a topic from page 7 to the end of page 10, but when I selected one post and clicked split, it only moved that one post.

When I selected multiple posts, it looks like it will only merge those posts together in to one post (?) and allow me to put a final comment.

When I selected move, it will move the whole thread.

So what's the correct way to split a topic in to 2 from the point it went OT?

At this point, I moved one post to the new topic, but no dice on splitting the thread, nor merging it with that one post I moved.

I tried merge and it merged two posts together in the old thread to one, which is screwed up because it's 2 different users poss now confusingly in 1 and I have no clue how to revert it back. 

Either my coffee didn't work this AM or something isn't working right because i never had issues splitting topics in v3.4.8 nor on vBuletin and phpoBB.

Your very first technique was the right one, except that in Invision's software "Split" works by taking all checked posts and splitting them off. So to do what you want you have to check every single post from the one you want on, then click Split.

Got it. Thanks!
