I just purchased the plugin and had a talk with Adriano about a feature, posting it here for more opinions.
Lets say that you promote the first post of a topic to a category of articles that use the forum to store the comments. In this case, I would want the new article to be tied to the topic it was promoted from, to avoid having duplicated content on the forums, but right now when you submit the article, it creates a new topic, instead of using the existing one.
Now the issue with linking the article to the existing topic: If you promote another post in the topic, one that's not the first one to create new content from it, well, it would be an issue because the conversation would remain in the same topic rather than being a new one.
So I thought that maybe Adriano can hardcode it to tie the article to the existing topic if the promoted post is the first in the topic. If it's not the first post in the topic, then just make a new topic straight away.
All this is in the case that you "use forums for comments" in your articles database.
