--- Quote from: Chas Large ---Occasionally members may create duplicate or similar topics in different boards. It may be useful therefore to merge these topics into one for simplicity of reading and thus prevent further duplications.

To merge two topics into one, it is necessary to choose one topic for the the other topic to be merged into, this will usually be the earliest posted topic. Once chosen, open the topic and select the Merge Topics button at the bottom of the page. The Merge Topics screen will appear. Select the desired target board from the drop down list and the individual topics in that board will appear below.

Now select the target topic from this list by clicking on the page icon containing two vertical arrows that join at the point. The next screen displays the selected topics to be merged. If notifications are not to be included with the merge, uncheck the boxes at the end of the selections.

Choose the subject that will be shown at the top of the topic from the drop down list and if all subjects are to be changed to that choice you may check the Change the subject of all the messages option before finally selecting the Merge Topics button.

Looks good. Remember to use italics when mentioning buttons and options, though. :)
