Previous topic - Next topic

not sure if this is the correct place - thought about posting in Mod Request first:
afaik its not possible to 'cut' a single posts and 'move' it into another (already existing) topic.
didnt find any mod 'promoting' this feature - or did i miss some 'default behaviour' to accomplish this?

@AllMassive You can use the 'split' and 'merge' options to do this as follows:
1. Split the messages you want to add to the 'other' (ie, already existing) topic from their 'current' topic - this will separate the 'current' topic into two topics (ie, let's now refer to the posts that were split from the 'current' topic as the 'split' topic); and then
2. Merge the 'split' topic with the 'other' (ie, already existing) topic (and update the topic subject as required).
