I know, I know, it's probably impossible/, or perhaps really annoying to code, but it'd be a lot easier if I could just merge threads people make in the SM64 forum that belong in a larger thread. Like, person goes "How do I do this?" Then, instead of trashing it, I merge it into the thread about questions.

Hey, this is actually a very good idea that, depending on the coding of the board, could be relatively easy to implement.

I support this, the SM64 forum could really benefit from this.

Thanks for being a part of us, even if it wasn't always on the best of terms.

I don't think it would be too hard, just change the thread ID for each post in the thread to be merged into the other thread.

UPDATE posts SET thread = x WHERE thread = y;

(of course, adjust table/column names as appropriate)

Well, that, and deleting the original topic thing in the database.

(I'm fairly aware of the stuff, the issue would be implementing edit thread, and whether or not to limit it to threads in the same forum/how to choose which thread to merge it into, etc.)
