    [Forum] Change Default Forum when Merging Threads

    There are two ways to merge threads - 1. select both and then merge; or 2. select one and then merge. Using option 2, the 1st screen you select the thread you are merging too, then the 2nd screen you choose the destination forum and redirect options. With option 1 you bypass the 1st screen and go directly to the 2nd screen.
    If it's possible with the option 2 to have the default forum be the thread you are merging too, that would be great. How easy would it be to do this and how do I do it? Thanks in advance!

    #2
    When merging threads, I do this:

    1) Copy the URL of the newer thread to be merged
    2) Go to the older thread to be merged
    3) Click the Administrative drop down located above post #1
    4) Click Merge Threads... and Proceed...
    5) Enter the URL click Merge Threads

    At this point I wish the (Destination Thread) and (Destination Forum) would always be the older thread. The reason is that normally I only merge threads when they are very similar topics and I always want the merged threads to have the older thread title and remain in the same forum.
