Overview
DTO Thread Move Notification is a free product that automatically sends thread authors a friendly private message when a moderator moves their thread to another forum. By automating the process this tool delivers a consistent moderation ?tone? in communicating with thread authors as well as speeding the task of moving threads. When set to active thread notifications are sent in the following ways:
If the thread is moved from a forum that the author can see to another that he/she can see the author will receive a notification via private message.
If the thread is moved from a forum that the author can see to another that he/she cannot see, the moderator performing the move will receive a private message notification reminder to contact the author and let them know why it was removed from the publicly visible forum.
If the thread is moved from a forum that the author cannot see to another that he/she can see the author will receive a notification.
If the thread is moved from a forum that the author can see to another that he/she can see and a redirect is left in the previous forum the author will receive a private message notification that includes text to inform them a redirect was left and the duration the redirect will remain active.

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

Enjoy and, if you like DTO Thread Move, be sure to mark it installed and nominate it for Mod of the Month. Thanks!
Just one thing, why not implement other moderation actions like move, delete, combine, etc but not only threads but also por posts ?
May be e-mails traffic would increase but would be nice.

I had this idea, specially to newbies that never used a forum plataform before and go around your site posting everywhere if you know what I mean. If expanded to several areas depending on the text you use on notification, you can give an educational character and not only moderation.
You could even include those levels on admin cp and choose each level will be turned on and off, I mean, if you want it only for moving threads, delete or moving posts, delete threads, etc.
The admin help file needs to be uploaded to admincp/
Also when I click on it I get a white screen.
Actually the file dto_threadmove_help.php should be delivered to your FORUMROOT directory and not admincp. The reason for this is that if you run something out of the admincp directory it uses a different global.php to set up the environment and you don't have everything you do when running from the forumroot.
I did realize that I had screwed up on the versioning and had forgotten to configure help on our server side. This resulted in the help not being found which could explain the issue you were seeing.
If you can verify that you have the dto_threadmove_help.php in your FORUMROOT then go into admincp and click on the documentation link. If you still don't get the help loaded please let me know if you happen to be running your admincp from a different directory that may be in some other location. We'll get this sorted out so everything is working properly.

Interesting idea. If you would be open to expanding on these ideas a bit more I would love to capture the requirements for consideration in a future release. We could discuss them in this thread or we can pick the discussion up in the Thread Move discussion forum on our support site. Let me know which works best for you.
