Please UNINSTALL this mod before installing the new one
Description
This is a simple little plugin which will send a PM to the thread owner when one of their threads is moved to a different forum, and a re-direct is NOT used.
Quite often the problem arrises of re-directs cluttering up a forum, but if you move a thread without a redirect, then users cannot find it.
This plugin should solve that problem.
Installation
Just upload the attached product XML file. It will add 2 new hooks, and 2 new phrases.
Notes
This currently only works if you move the thread using either the ajax inline moderation, or the Thread Tools menu. If you move the thread from within the ModCP or the AdminCP, then it will not send a PM.
The PM subject and text are stored in the GLOBAL phrases "q_pm_on_move_message_subject" and "q_pm_on_move_message_text" respectivly
Important: Unfortunately, my leased vBulletin licence has now expired, and I won't be renewing it until September which means I will be unable to reply to this thread, or update this mod until then. I'm hopeful that the great vBulletin.org community will step in to answer any questions in my absence though See you all in early September!

ben_erhan: I'll be sure to add permission checking into the next release. If the user doesn't have permission to view the forum it's being moved to, then it won't tell them about the forum.
nealparry: It sends the PM from whoever moderateted the thread (you, one of your moderators, etc).
Keyser S?ze: The PM is currently sent from the person who did the thread move (ie, the moderator), and I've added the "reason" (ie, for deletions, etc) into the next release, so it tells them what it was. Also, the options have been added to the AdminCP for the next release, and it supports all of the other mod functions (including move with redirects) :-)
I'm hopefull to have the next release out by Friday, but don't hold me to that

- add an option to make it send email rather than PM or send both, or send email for users less than X posts as some forums admins uses the ( Disable PM's for users less than X posts )
- What If we can have an option to enable/disable pming while doing mod stuff; something like checkbox..
- under that checkbox ( send or not ), we can have a small text area if we would like to inform the thread writer for moving/closing/deleting reasons..
- Some Forums have a special Forum for deleted threads, so when they want to delete a thread; they simply move the thread to that forum.. so you can put a forum id's targets wich uses the ( Thread Deleted ) Template rather than ( Thread Moved )
