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.

Robert,
Check it out and let me know what you think. Nathan and I have used a version of this on our respective sites for several years and it really seemed to keep our members happy when their threads were moved. Before that it was difficult to get our mods to take the time to send a note to the thread author. Without the note the author, when he couldn't find his thread, would get angry and stir up the rest of the community. This little mod seemed to keep everything on the site a little calmer.
Yes, I've installed this mod half an hour ago and its working fine. Indeed it is very importand to be consequent to the users. This mod is really helping a lot.
A bit off-topic, but a bit in line with this mod. I'm looking for a mod that sends an e-mail when a topic is deleted, whith the possibility to enter a reason for deletion.. This would also be a lot appreciated i think ;-)

Interesting idea...shall we move that discussion here? To leave this one on topic of course.
