 Posted: Sat Apr 12, 2008 9:28 am Post subject: Leave shadow topic in old forum didn't work |
|
I just moved a topic from New Features Program to NeoOffice Support, and selected the Leave shadow topic in old forum option, which leaves a topic in the original forum (and adds Moved: to that shadow topic's title).
I always do that when moving topics as it helps the original poster find his topic, rather than think it's been deleted.
But when I did that today, no shadow topic was created in the New Features Program forum, so I had to move it back to New Features Program (shadow topic was created that time), and to NeoOfice Support again (shadow topic was again successfully created).
As a result, there are now two topics in NeoOffice Support: the actual topic, and a shadow topic; there is also a shadow topic in New Features Program (which is what was originally intended - but didn't work the first time).
I'm 100% sure that the option was selected the first time I moved the topic (it is selected by default, and I did see the blue checkbox). Does someone know what could have happened, and can someone clean up my mess (unnecessary shadow topic in NeoOffice Support; there should only be a shadow topic in New Features Program and the actual topic in NeoOffice Support)? |

Note that deleting the shadow topics (at least through the normal moderator interface) will delete the actual topic as well. Fixing this will probably require editing the database manually

I suspected that; otherwise I'd have attempted to do it myself  |

Luckily that means only one of us is speaking from experience
