How do I move a thread from one forum to another more appropriate forum?

lilias

You pm a Board Guide and ask them to move it.

Thanks for that.
I shall seek out a Board Guide and figure out how to pm them.
All a learning curve.

Board Guide names are at the very bottom of the Comp Board, Divadee, Glad and Dalkirst. If you just click on one of those names you will go to their User CP and then click on send a message.

Brilliant - thanks Barnabysue - any help much appreciated.

Just follow below with the relevant links & title change eg "move a thread please" rather than a merge request.

1 What do I do if I see a comp which has already expired / been posted on here? / How do I send a merge request to a Board Guide?
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.
