BostonBob Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Hello, I'm in a strange predicament, I have a thread on my forum that was started in 2004 that has warped into 10673 pages of ... I'm last as people just post away for 13 years! I'm getting ready to kill the thread, however, I'm getting some flack ... a proposal was given to me that I take the first 20 or so pages from the thread -- break off the last 10 pages or os of the thread and merge them. However, I can't break off the first few post into a new topic ... I have to literally try and break off the 10,000 pages and split them off ... in order to save the initial posts etc. 106,915 replies along with 2 million views over the time -- so it's sentimental to folks. Any thoughts on how to do it? BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can copy that manually into a new topic and then move all the first posts and last posts into this topic. That will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BostonBob Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 But then it won't show the author, and the date it was started. But I guess that's really the only thing that can be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
