Moved thread, last poster.

[Ned_Flanders]

That thread that was moved in the Classified Section says the last poster is n/a, even though I replied prior to the move.

Also, regarding moving threads - I think it might be a nice idea for an automated PM to be sent to the author informing them that there thread has been moved?

"The moderation team has moved your thread (xxxthreadnamexxx) to a more appropriate section. The new url is: xxxnewurlxxx"

? Just thinking outloud.

Automated is a good idea ... and a good idea anyways ...

If the moderators want people to know they moved it they can have a shadow thread stay. If they don't want them to know then they don't leave a shadow. I don't like the automated idea at all.

two weeks later you are going to say that they need an automated reply to the thread starter and then claim this idea as yours... lol

 

[dhlucke]

Probably 😀

The moment we move a thread, we set that to 'n/a' since after that, there is no trace back to where the thread was moving from, so there is no way to know about the last poster.

But that doesn't make it right. That thread is saying there isn't a last reply - Obviously wrong.

Yeah, I think it adds a level of personalism to the forum.
