--- Quote from: Chas Large ---It may be necessary to split topics into two or more different topics, say when a topic has strayed into two different sub topics. There are three ways to split a topic and all start from selecting the Split Topic icon, the one with two vertical arrows pointing up and down, on the post concerned. The three choices are:
* Only this posts - Only the selected post is split into a new topic
* Split topic after and including this post - This post and all subsequent posts will be split off into a new topic
* Select posts to split - Any posts in the current topic may be split off into a new topic. Selecting this option will open a page listing all the posts within the topic being split. Select each post to be split out from the topic using the blue right arrow icon. Once all the posts have been selected in this way, select the Split Topic button.Once any split operation has been completed the new topic will bear the same subject name as the original but will be prefixed with Re:. It may require modifying accordingly.

Looks good. :) I'm pretty sure there's an option to give the split topic a new title, though, so you may want to add that.
