I was about to try to transfer clips over to the new board and I asked Anne if she had time to help. She did and she figured out the split and merge, so Anne, when ya sign on, please post the directions here. Thanks

Ok, I'll try, but it is easier to do than explain...but as it is just our little gang, you can shout at me if I dont make it plain, and I'll try again.

Ok, the whole point of this split and merge stuff is so that you can take posts out of one Forum, topic etc, and stick it somewhere else. It will put it into the correct place via the date the original post was posted.

I'll give you an example of something I did when I was helping Karen. We had all the Magazine scans in one Topic, then decided to split them into USA, UK, German etc. Instead of having to C&P them all seperately, I went through and dragged out all the German Mags in one go and put them in the new forum.

To split them, you go to the bottom left of the Topic you want to play with, and choose Split. You then have to give a name to the new Topic you will make. I just wrote "New", so I could find them easily. You will have a list of the posts, with a little box for each post. Click the posts you want to move, then go to the bottom and click whatever it says there to split. Sorry, I can't remember the exact wording.

Now, when you go back to the main forum, your chosen posts will all be in the topic named "New". Copy the URL for the NEW topic from your browser.

Now go to the topic you want these posts transferred to, and hit merge in the list.

This will bring up a box where you put in the URL for your "NEW" Topic. Paste the URL into the box. Click ok, and the posts will now be where you want them, and the "NEW" box will have vanished.


If you only have one post to move, then it would be quicker to C&P the post from one topic to another and delete the original, but that wont put it in date order.

Using the Merge option moves a whole topic, so if somebody has opened up a new topic and we already have a discussion going on about the subject somewhere else, you can just merge them together.

Does any of that make sense?

Try giving it a go, it is easier to do than it sounds.

Anne the confusing x

Any time I am around Holly, just shout. We can IM about it, and go through it bit by bit.

This isn't very important right now anyway, just nice to know how it is done. :D

Actually, the split/merge/prune options are ones that you all won't really ever use. LOL In the real world of JDR the way we are, most all that you all will need to know about mod options will be the editing of others' posts and how to delete a post if it's really out of line. For instance, if someone posts Johnny's cell phone number. First thing you want to do is copy the post and email it to me. LOL Then just go in and delete the pertinant info (where is spell check when I need it LOL) and add "Edited for content by admin" and that takes care of that. LOL

You could also need to know when to pin something or lock a forum.
