The mod only addresses threads that are moved and not actions on individual posts. While managing our sites we never have had a need to move individual posts. If you can provide more information on the conditions by which you move posts or take action on them it may give us enough information to extend the mod in future releases.

The reason we didn't PM them in this scenario is that you may not necessarily want to let them know you've moved their thread to an area that they can't see. On our sites there were two cases that we used this for. The first was if the thread creator was a vendor who had no advertising agreement in place and we wanted to pull it out of circulation so we could have time to review them and follow up with the vendor. The other case would be that the thread author violated some type of site guideline and we would pull it so that the entire moderation team could review it and have a chance to determine a course of action.

Again, let me know your use cases and perhaps we can provide additional options to support both types of behaviors.

In our case we wanted to be able to demonstrate that a multitude of moderators were in place and working together rather than just a single person. This would prevent the impression that there was just a single person managing the site.

The bottom line is that we are willing and interested in extending Thread Move further. To do so just provide us with some detailed use cases on how you would want features to work, how you currently do it on your site, and we'll see what can be done. The biggest thing for us is making sure that we include features that the majority of sites can make use of.

Thanks!

Is this ZIP file download corrupt?

Thanks ...

[S]It looks like it might be. Let me reupload the file. This may explain the problem that a couple of other users are seeing.[/S]

The issue was due to downloaded and attempting to unzip the file using a Mac (which I use as well and have reproduced the problem). The issue is that, by default, the later versions of OS X do not include Stuffit Expander which properly handles zip files from the desktop. The standard decompressor can't handle the file format. Luckily there are two ways to address this:

1) If you are comfortable using the Terminal application just "cd" to the directory where you downloaded the zip and run the following command:

unzip dto_thread_move_1_0_1_1.zip

This will expand the file properly

2) Install the latest version of StuffIt Expander. Once installed launch the application and click on StuffIt Expander >> Preferences. Scroll down the list presented, click on ZIP, and click on Assign to StuffIt Expander.

Double click on dto_thread_move_1_0_1_1.zip using the Finder and it should decompress properly.


With this information we'll be adding some additional information on this for Mac users to our product release notes on vbulletin.org.

Thanks!

With help from dandanch and Kolbi I was able to identify and resolve a couple of issues with the 1.0.1 version of Thread Move. I've just provided a new release (1.0.2) that includes fixes for the following:

• Updated Thread Move help template to be XHTML compliant
• Added additional check to insure that thread copy does not trigger thread move notification functions

Enjoy and, if you like DTO Thread Move, be sure to mark it installed and nominate it for Mod of the Month. Thanks!

Anyone using this in 3.8.6?

I am having the same issue as Tommy did you find the solution?

As we are still working on getting all of our paid products supporting vb4 I have not been able to revisit Thread Move. That said I can say that if you are using the inline moderation tools no PM will be sent. Only if you are viewing a thread and choose to move it from within that interface will the notification be sent. Once we revisit this we'll likely extend the functionality to include inline moderation.

Thanks
