ID of the second topic

Started by keyboard, January 17, 2019, 06:22:38 PM

Previous topic - Next topic

An alternative way to merge topics is to type the ID of the second topic in the box ID of destination topic and click the merge topics button.

Where in the world do I find this "ID of the second topic" at ?   

Thanks in advance

ID's of topics are part of their URL specifically: index.php?topic=[TOPIC_ID]

This topic's ID for example is 564559.

Perhaps you can help me or I would not be offended if someone chimed in with their wisdom

I want to take a message from one board (message 1) and merge it to a topic (message 2) on another board..... I have succeeded but it was merged to be the top message. I was hoping that it would follow the message.

I am getting:
Message 1
-Message 2

But I want
Message 2
-Message 1

Help Please

you cannot do that as the messages are in date/time order. it is not a good idea to try to get that changed.

Gary

Actually, they're based on their IDs.

So if Message 1 has an ID lower than that of Message 2, then 1 will always appear first, even if you changed the date on 2 to be earlier than 1.

Though yeah, any attempt to change the order in the database is just asking for trouble.
