Hi All, I have a conundrum.
I run a Mobile Phone Forum. It's not amazingly technical or large but has a good userbase.
For reference the forum is here: http://www.mygreatphone.com/forum/
Now usually I report on news about different handsets in their relevant manufacturers areas, but it would great if all these news articles could also be posted in a general news forum as well, so users can simply browse the news articles for all manufacturers together.
Unfortunately I don't see any simple way to create redirects that look like general forum threads and so I see I have only 2 options.
1) Create the news article in "News" and then copy it to the relevant Manufacturer thread.
issues: Duplication of content and possible double comments for same article without locking.
2) Create Article in "News" and then move it to the relevant section with a permanent redirect.
issues: Would always use the wording "moved" before the thread in "News" section.
Does anybody have any suggestion on how I can achieve what I'm looking for?
Many Thanks.
