Move Topic Issue- 2.1 Beta2

[Kindred]

do note... in 2.1 - the moved topic stubs are automatically cleaned up after X days, where X is the setting that you have defined in the smf admin

You are absolutely correct
in 2.1 the moved post becomes a stub which immediately redirects the click into the thread - wherever it was moved to. This is FAD (functions as designed) an is completely intentional.
and that means that you are also correct that you can not delete the stub form inside it -- because the stub is nothing more than a bounce.

You can manually delete using quickmoderation checkboxes...
you can wait for the stub to expire and get automatically removed after a time...


So...   it is looking like there is no actual bug here....   just confusion over how the redesigned feature works.

Just to be sure: are you using the B2 release package or the code from GH?

Yes, it was the B2 release package from here- http://download.simplemachines.org/

It is different than how 2.0 is set up obviously, and not a bad improvement actually. The issue though is that even when using the quick moderating checkboxes to delete the redirect notice, it also deletes the topic that was moved.

Also, from what I can see, running the scheduled task I mentioned earlier, does not delete the redirect notice either; so the only options I see are to either uncheck the redirect notice when moving a topic or if one forgets to do that, just wait out the days chosen in the redirect option for the moved notice to delete.

the scheduled task would only remove the notices whose time period has expired, AFAIK

yep exactly, if the time has not expired or a time was not set it will not remove the topic.

i tried to manually delete the move redirect topic using the quick moderation options and i had no issues, the topic it redirects to still exists.


are you trying to "view" the redirect topic and then deleting it? if so make sure you are not on the topic that was moved. you cannot actually view the redirection topic to delete it from within the topic.

I am deleting the "moved:topic name" notice from the old board- not the topic that has been moved to the new board I want it to. It's when I delete the notice topic from the old board that the new topic gets deleted.

when i try to do that, the topic on the second board does not get deleted.

you are using the quick moderation options on the message index to remove the MOVED: topic?

[br360]

Ok, so I just tried it again and it worked. I created a new topic in board one. Moved it to board two, then went back to board one, deleted the moved notice topic there with quick moderation and it deleted that topic only- leaving the newly moved topic in board two in tact.

Not sure what I did different or how it worked properly this time, but I promise that I am not that crazy- and I had tried to delete moved topics before with quick moderation- and it did delete both topics. 

Weird.

Nah. You're weird that's all
