Non chronological merging
 

Hi there,
I've recently created a thread I want stickied and the first post of it is to be the intro to the thread. I want to merge older threads into the same thread and have them displayed "after" the intro. I want to merge a few threads into the one but I'm afraid with the chronological order of things, the posts could be all over the place. Is there any way just to add them non chronologically and more threadly (if that's a word:))

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Any further info on this? :)

I would also like this, seems strange there has been no replys.

There is no real way to do this other then to edit the timestamp of the first post.

Is that in the database ?

Yes

So that would need a modification to alter the time stamp of the posts in one of the threads merged.
I guess altering the time stamp may mess with a lot of things. Like last login time of a member?

Editing the time stamp on a post should not mess with the last login time of a member.

I did this yesterday and had no problems. It worked great. I used this site - http://www.plus2net.com/php_tutorial/php_time_stamp.php to generate the timestamp I wanted. Then found the post I wanted to change in the posts table of the database and changed the timestamp field. Now the post I wanted to be at the top after the merge is at the top.

Thanks for the help on this matter.
