Overview

DTO Thread Move Notification is a free product that automatically sends thread authors a friendly private message when a moderator moves their thread to another forum. By automating the process this tool delivers a consistent moderation ?tone? in communicating with thread authors as well as speeding the task of moving threads. When set to active thread notifications are sent in the following ways:


If the thread is moved from a forum that the author can see to another that he/she can see the author will receive a notification via private message.
If the thread is moved from a forum that the author can see to another that he/she cannot see, the moderator performing the move will receive a private message notification reminder to contact the author and let them know why it was removed from the publicly visible forum.
If the thread is moved from a forum that the author cannot see to another that he/she can see the author will receive a notification.
If the thread is moved from a forum that the author can see to another that he/she can see and a redirect is left in the previous forum the author will receive a private message notification that includes text to inform them a redirect was left and the duration the redirect will remain active.

This is a very useful one, and we were using it in 3.8 can you update it to 4.x ?

It will be a few weeks before I can revisit this as I have some business travel and holidays coming up. I'll post something to this thread when I've had some time to work on it.

Thanks
