A moderator reported the inability to move a topic from a public to a private area and gave this photo [image] I expected him to move it to a new topic which was not available for him as it was me [image] and he also got the error trying to move it to another thread What can I check or correct? My only observation which I did not attempt to change is due to the nature of my forum I only have two types of members, paying and not paying, there are no auto bumps paying are level 2 members [image] I’ll try to recreate the situation and bump his trust level but if that is the case, level 2 prohibits his ability to moderate I have to guess that’s an oversight in how these permissions are intended to work?

Topic will move when category is changed. That’s it.

Did the moderator select all posts in the topic? Then you cannot move to a new topic.

Moderator’s don’t have the ability to split posts into a new message the same as admins, but they can convert a whole topic into a PM using the option in the topic wrench. Sorry, I may have misread what the issue was. If the private area is another category rather than a PM, then Moin and Jagster are correct. You’d change the category of the topic rather than use the ‘select post’ functions. You can only create a new topic when splitting out posts rather than moving a whole topic.
