Moderators Functions - DTO Thread Move Notification - automatically send friendly message when moving thread

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.

As Nathan said...thanks for the nomination!

Also, when you have a chance be sure to mark this installed so we can easily notify you when we push out a new version.

Thanks again!

[mferguson]

Do you mean our DTO Move Thread product? You mention copy mod tool above.

If you do mean DTO Move Thread tool are you using version 1.0.1? I found a case where this was happening in the 1.0.0 version but we have not seen this in the version we released today.

Feel free to PM me directly and I'll work with you to get this resolved.

Thanks!

Can you private message me with information on what version of vBulletin you are running? I'm working with another user that is having a similar issue so information on your installation (vB version, products you have installed, etc.) would be very helpful.

Thanks!

Still me, the template dto_threadmove_help isn?t xhtml valid
Won?t take long time to make it valid.
I sent you an PM with the valid code

[mferguson]

Kolbi - thanks for the PM. I took your code and found an additional XHTML compliance issue that I've fixed and will include this in our next release. I'm currently trying to determine why this mod is sometimes throwing errors on some sites but not others. When I get that resolved I'll package and release a 1.0.2 version that will contain this updated template.

Thanks!

Mark
