I have a question about the archive forum id.....(yep I am fairly new to PHP and VB), when I click on the archive link it takes me /archive/index.php. How do I designate a forum ID? Say I am in main forum category 5 and I want to archive a topic to the same category 5 in the archive section then say I want to archive a topic from main forum category 22 and I want it archived in the same category in the archive section.

How do I do that?

Also when I designate the forum number do I put the f-8 as in this example: archive/index.php?f-8.html

I added the new setting to ACP and chose forum Id 22..... then I archived a test post....but it didn't go into the forum 22 that I indicated in the setting. In fact, I can't find that stinker anywhere...

I did confirm that the Postings.php had the forum variable and not a hardcoded forum id number.

So where did my post go??? ;)

Sorry for the late response (as youll see, support is unchecked :P)

I think you are confused here. This hack has nothing to do with the vBulletin archive for search engines, this hack is meant to give moderators the ability to move threads to a secure forum that they can't access or dont have moderator access to. It can be moved to only one forum, the forum that you set. So it doesn't matter if it came from the 'spam tram' or 'leet d00ds only' forum, it still goes into the same forum :)

wow nice! just found this hack. I use it for my report forum. When a report is solved, staff just clicks :D easier hehe

thanks pal! looking foward for a 3.5update :P i hope so.

Great hack, this is very skilful hack :squareeyed:

Thanks, great hack.

I love this but have one question. :)

After I archive a thread it moves properly but the "Last Post" field on the forum index is not updated. Did I do something wrong?

This will make the mods jobs easier, thank you.

Could you please upgrade it to vB 3.5 RC2? I'm really looking forward to this hack.

Supa bump!!! Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiya!!!

Ill update it ASAP. Should be before the end of the month but Im just way to busy as it is ;)
