Forum Re-organisation

[SlipperyDuck]

I know the mass of options can be daunting, but worry not - it's actually easy, just a case of navigating to the correct areas.

Click Admin, login again as per the wy it wkz, then on the left scroll right to the middle somewhere and look for:

Forums & Moderators
|_
Forum Manager
From there you can now see in the right panel, the layout of the forums.
When you click on Any of them, eg: Click on General - then look down the page and you can see Parent Forum for general this is ---[grrr]
You can move where it is placed by changing it's Parent.

If you want to move TOPICS into a another forum, this is different, you do this from the Forum itself not the admin panel.
Go to the Forum.
Eg. Moving SUBFORUM Software General(a subforum to Software), to Software main forum, click on Software General, at the top right click on INLINE MOD and choose SELECT ALL. Then at the bottom, click on Moderation Tools and select MOVE THREADS.....chose the Software main forum and proceed. DONE. Now you can delete Software General SubForum - This can only be done in the Admin Panel.

To delete the Software General, once all the threads are moved, Go back to the Admin panel:
Forums & Moderators
|_
Forum Manager
From there you can see a Drop-Down menu that currently has Edit Forum, click on that and choose Delete Forum. It will prompt if you want to do this, choose yes. Done.

Easy, once you know how.

Hi guys. Will be back soon and will help. As for input. I would say it must be simple and clean. Will give it a full look when I am back.

I agree a reorganization is a great idea! I can throw my hat in the circle to help rearrange and organize if need be. I have some Admin console experience and I'm sure with a short tut with the Duckles' I'll be able to add some value if the powers that be degree.... Thanks
