Make split or copied thread as"new"

[cbiweb]

I would like it if when I split a thread or copy it to another location, the newly created thread is considered to be new, with a zero post count and zero view count. Is this possible? Is there a hack available for this already?

There is a hack around that can bump or make a thread newer/older. Just considering it as new is not possible, since that is determined based on the post date.

That makes sense. It's not "new" if the date is old. :) But what about resetting the views counter to zero? Is that tied to the post date? When I copy a thread to a new location, or split a thread, it can't be made to show as having 0 views? A client is asking that this be done. If it's impossible, I need to know what to tell him.

Resetting views could be done i guess.
