Move Posts instead of Delete

[bbisbee]

I remember once upon a time, IPB would let you change the default behavior the "delete" Post/Topic button from removing the topic or post to have it move it to a "trash" area. Is this still possible in 4.4.x?

 I hope that made sense.

Thanks,

Brian

The "trash can"was removed over 5 years ago, you can setup a hidden forum, call it "trash can" and move items in that rather than delete them if you would like.

You can also enable delayed deleting ( ACP => Posting => Permanently delete content ) which is kind of like a trash area in your ModCP. All deleted content will be placed there for X days before it gets finally deleted.

Tips like this are great - the ACP should have an interactive help system where tips like this appear on relevant pages to assist Admins with configuring their forums the best way possible.

This work around should work for what I need. Thanks everyone for the tips!
