Forum Tools > Split Thread (gone?)

[Brian Arndt]

After upgrading to the latest build 3.5.3,
on a thread where you pulldown the Forum Tools, their used to be a
split thread. It dissapeared. I looked all through the admin backend but
couldnt find where you could turn this on again.

Am i missing it or did it get removed from the code?

any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Because you can do it with inline moderation.

Check the posts you want, move posts

[Brian Arndt]

how do you mean?

Inline Moderation Announcement

[Brian Arndt]

Well a member from our staff is complaining that you cannot split posts. Although the inline is nice . i still dont see how you can split a post?

Actions include stick/unstick, open/close, delete/undelete, approve/un-approve, move and merge.

no split.

edit: so you have to click every thread you want to move?

say we have 300 posts and we want to split it in the middle. we have to click 150 posts and then "move" them?

I'm sorry I didn't finish my post. Yes, to do inline moderation within a thread (split/close/open/delete), you do so by opening the thread and ticking off the checkboxes. The screen snapshots I posted are for inline moderation at the forum level.

I did a cursory search and there appears no way to "split every post after this one to a new thread". Seems like a huge oversight to me. I'd also hate to have to tick 150 checkboxes to do what you want.

Something that might help:
On teh first post of a pge, in the menu where is also the Thread Tools, you will see a Down Arrow with no text on the end. Click this for some more advanced selection options. (could be improved, but it is a start).

[Brian Arndt]

hmm yah helps but still you need to click every thread to split large threads which i could see being a big pain as some of our threads hit 30+ pages in 20 minutes.

[feldon23]

You can increase the # of posts per page by amending the URL at the too with &perpage=100

Didn't you still have to check boxes using the old split method?

[Zachery]

To move/remove posts from a "THREAD" you'd do the same by checking the posts inside of a thread and using the move option.

This is slooow to split large threads, is valid only to move a few posts to new topic. My mods are complaining about this and I can't find a fast solution.

The Thread Tools option has been removed because it is too resource intensive.

Have them display alot of posts, geeze, how many posts are you moving from a thread

[RCA]

There are some big, really BIG threads (+70.000 posts in 1 thread), that needs to be splitted due problems with slow db queries.
