Splitting boards / merging boards

[landyvlad]

What's the easiest way to go about the following?

Split
I have a board titled 'Tyres and Brakes'
I want to break out the relevant posts into separate boards one for tyres and one for brakes.

Merge
I have a MotoGP board and a Motorsport (other) board and I want to merge the two into a single Motorsport board.


In both cases the permissions etc are the same so there are no concerns on that front.  (open to all members)

Thanks

I take it you've read these, but just in case.

Step 1: go to your profile, to look and layout preferences, switch quick moderation to checkboxes.

Step 2: go to the boards you want to move things around in, tick the topics you want to move, select move topics, and you're done.

Why not to open new topics in different boards, copy/paste relevant content as quote and archive old topic - for Tyres and Brakes. And important before you split topics in case if there are a lot of posts, it is wise to move topic first to a board where you don't have much topics so you won't lose 1 of these topics, depends how you set boards to show last posts.
About merge part, if you have very important stuff from both sides first posts have to be with main info sum from both topics because once you merge them it will be chaos where the posts are.

No one is talking about splitting or merging topics, the OP has two boards that he wants to merge into one because they're too niche individually but fine together, and one board that just has a collection of topics that warrants a new sub-board because that's just the trend of conversations.
