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.

I?m running the latest version.
Can you tell me a simple method to test this addon?
Create a thread with a normal account and then move it and then check if the normal user has got an pm?

I test by creating a user and then creating a thread by that user. Then log in as admin and move the thread. If you have Save PM on send you will have one in the saved PM box as the admin. The user should have one in their unread box.
Thats for moving a thread from a publicly visible location to another publicly visible location. If moving to a forum that is not a publicly visible location the admin should receive a PM informing them to contact the member as to why it was moved along with a reminder not leave a redirect.
Have two browsers open. I use Firefox and Safari for my testing but you can use IE and Chrome, etc. You just need two browsers running.
1) With one browser login as an admin
2) I have a test account (TestUser) that is a member of the registered users group. With the other browser login as TestUser
2) TestUser creates a thread in Forum A
3) With the other browser (administrator) view this thread and under the Thread Tools menu select Move Thread
4) Select a publicly visible forum (Forum B) to move the thread
5) Go back to TestUser's browser and check private messages. There should be a new one indicating the move.
