Why Not...

[tonic]

Why not make an individual sub-forum where people can ask others about a book they've forgotten, because I always notice those types of threads are the most prevalent in the Gen. Book Discussion. Just a suggestion.

Moved to the Feedback thread...

[I, Brian]

Could well be a good idea. One slight concern is that these are often posted by new users, who perhaps won't notice that there is such a board - and if the thread is moved, not be able to find their answer! I think it's definitely worth considering though - will have a think.

Just a quick, semi-related question. When a moderator moves a thread to another, more appropirate board, does the creator of the thread gets an e-mail notification about this? I know some other forum I used to go to (BUT NOT ANYMORE BECAUSE CHRONIES IS COOLER, ahum...) did send out an e-mail notification, and, if I remember correctly, also to everyone who had posted in that thread before the moving.

As far as I am aware, this does not happen. Sometimes mods leave a redirect. I never do. But then moving threads is not my forte.

[littlemissattitude]

I always leave a redirect and, if possible PM the person who started the thread. Never thought about letting other people who posted in the thread know about the move, but figure that the redirect should do the trick.

A redirect should definitely do the trick, and as a moderator and former mod at other boards, I think leaving them is definitely a good idea. This is a very active board, so in most forums a redirect will drop off the first page relatively quickly.

It's a pity no board that I know of has an automatic delete function, such as delete redirects after 30 days...
