With the events of last week and the aftermath, I've not been able to test this until now.
Adding the code fragment from newthread.php (listed in an post above) to postings.php works like a charm! If moderation email notification is set in the destination forum, the migration of a thread to that forum will cause the email to be sent.
I inserted the above code fragment from newthread.php into postings.php as shown below:
PHP Code:
if ($deleteuser) {
$DB_site->query("DELETE FROM subscribethread WHERE threadid='$threadid' AND userid IN ($deleteuser)");
}
// send email to moderators - code fragment from newthread.php here
eval("standardredirect(\"".gettemplate("redirect_movethread")."\",\"showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$threadid\");");
}
In the code fragment, this line needs to be deleted:
PHP Code:
$threadinfo['title'] = $subject;
Thanks much, FireFly!
Best regards,

P.S. I tested move, move with redirection, and copy to a destination forum with email notification on. Then repeated the tests to a forum with email notification off. All tests 'did the right thing'
