Split Thread option gone

[OptimusPrime]

After recently upgrading to VBulletin 3.6.1 from 3.0.9 I noticed the split thread option in the thread tools is gone. Was it taken out of VBulletin or did something go awry when upgrading? It was a handy function and I would like to get it back if possible.

When viewing posts (at your forum), you'll notice a small checkbox against each post. If you activate one or more, you'll find a moderation dropdown at the bottom of the page. From there you can move/merge/split.

I see that but the split option still doesn't show up. All the other thread options are there except split.

Sorry, a move post to me is a split - depends on how you use it I guess.

Move posts >

Move Posts to New Thread > Destination Forum

or

Move Posts to Existing Thread
Use the field below to specify the url of the thread that the selected posts are to be merged into. Note that all posts will be inserted into their chronological positions within this thread.

In the version of Vbulletin I was using prior to the upgrade there was actually a split option that would allow you to split an existing thread into two threads. After the upgrade that option is gone.

Yes, it was moved to the new system mentioned above.

I see. Thanks for the replies. I liked the old way of actually having the split option better. If you use it a lot like me and my mods do then this just creates extra steps the way I see it and its not nearly as intuitive. Oh well. Thanks again for the replies. I'll pass this on to the rest of the staff at my board.

Yes. personally, I preferred the old option too.

Having said that, when I first saw vBulletin 3.0.0, I preferred vBulletin 2.3.4 and said so publicly, and now I can't believe I actually said that!

I played with it and it just doesn't work like it did before. You have to specify an existing thread for it to work where as before it would split into a brand new thread in the forum you specified. I hate how it works now.

Um, no?

1. Select the posts you want in a new thread.
2. Hit Move in the dropdown box at the bottom.
3. Select the first option that clearly says "Move posts to a new thread"
4. Give the thread a subject.

And you're done.

Ok I see it now..I was looking at it wrong. Sometimes you can't see the forest for the trees. I still like the old way better.
