How do you Merge/Report a Merge?

Who do I go to/ask when I find a duplicate thread in the Competition forum?

PM the board guide.

You send a PM (private message) to one of the three competition board guides. Divadee, Glad or Dalkirst.

Copy the thread link of the original (in the address bar at the top) and paste it in the PM along with the thread link of the duplicate thread. A few "pleases" and "thank yous" in the PM will not go amiss. It's nice to grovel :rotfl:

On any page of the Forum, towards the bottom right of the page under the list of comp threads,
it says who the Board Guides (BGs) are for this forum.
Below is the current list:

If you click a BG name, it will take you to their profile page, over on the right is the 'Contact Info' & you should see a link to 'Send a private message to xxxx'

If you click that, a Private Message (PM) box will display & then all you need to do is put a title (eg Merge Request Please), then tell the BG what the Original Thread URL & the Dupe Thread URL is. (Highlight the URL of a thread in the bar at the top of the browser screen & right click > copy. Then click your mouse back into the PM box & right click > paste). You can ‘Preview Message’ to see how it will look, if you want, before you click to ‘Submit message’.

I used divadee for my example above.
Please try to spread your requests across all the BGs so we don’t overload just 1 of them,
as they are volunteers to help the board run smoothly & do want the time to enter & post some comps too!

Please also post on the duplicate comp thread that it is a dupe,
include a link to the original thread & if you mention that you have sent a merge request to whichever BG you sent it to, then that will save others doing exactly the same thing & bombarding the poor BGs with multiple requests for the same thing.
