Not list links in the forums list when moving topics

[Gabriel Torres]

Hi,

When we click to move a topic to another forum, IPS shows a list of all forums, including those that are only links, not real forums. Of course you can't select those, but some moderators are complaining that they can't move topics to these forums, but of course the problem is that they are trying to move a topic to a link, not to a real forum. To solve this issue, I'd like to suggest that links could be excluded from the forums list when using the "Move topic" and similar functions. Or a setting to configure whether to include links or not in those lists.

Thank you in advance,

Gabriel.

Including redirects in the list of options when moving topics only serves to add complication. It's counter-intuitive to the way you think about the task you are performing.
