Wrote this hack because people on my forum were complaining that there was no closed thread saying "Your thread was moved because of ....", so I decided to have the forum e-mail them when a mod/admin moved their thread.

EDIT POSTINGS.PHP

Find (around ln 287)

Code:

  $threadinfo=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT forumid FROM thread WHERE threadid=$threadid");
  $curforumid=$threadinfo[forumid];

Add after it

Code:

  $threadtitle=$threadinfo[title];
  $curforum=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT title FROM forum WHERE forumid=$curforumid");
  $targetforum=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT title FROM forum WHERE forumid=$forumid");
  $curforumtitle=$curforum[title];
  $targetforumtitle=$targetforum[title];

Find (around ln 334)

Code:

  $DB_site->query("UPDATE forum SET replycount=$numberposts,threadcount=threadcount-1,lastpost=$lastpost,lastposter='".addslashes($lastposter)."' WHERE forumid=$curforumid");

Add after it

Code:

  $firstpostinfo=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT userid FROM post WHERE threadid=$threadid ORDER BY dateline LIMIT 1");
  $threadstarter=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT email FROM user WHERE userid=$firstpostinfo[userid]");

  $emailsubject=$bbtitle;
  $emailmsg="Your thread on the $bbtitle, " . $threadtitle . ", has been moved from the " . $curforumtitle . " forum to the " . $targetforumtitle . " forum. Do not respond to this e-mail, as it will not yield any follow-up answers.";
  mail($threadstarter[email],$emailsubject,$emailmsg,"From: \"$bbtitle Post Manager\" <$webmasteremail>");

hope this helps somebody
