I did a lot of weird, don’t-do-this-at-home moderation to make this happen, therefore I don’t feel right reporting it as a bug, but I figured I should at least try document my actions and let anyone interested have a look at the outcome:

1. I started out with [a thread that had 3 replies that I split off into a new thread](http://hub.jmonkeyengine.org/t/new-desktop-deployment-for-3-1/31351/9?u=erlend_sh).
2. I then realised that these 3 replies could have been merged into an _existing_ thread instead,
3. so I moved them again, this time all 3 posts comprising their own topic, into an existing one.
4. Lastly, it turned out a post had been made to the original topic while I was exercising my volatile moderation rights. The 3-replies series was actually 4-replies, so I moved that one as well.

Here’s the end result:

> **[Deployement with gradle-getdown-plugin](https://hub.jmonkeyengine.org/t/deployement-with-gradle-getdown-plugin/30562)**
>
> I released a gradle plugin to be able to distribute my jme application : with jre (eg jre 1.8) without jre but able to download the right jre to use (if current one is not right) without requesting installation of the jre as archive (vs...

Doesn’t look that weird at first but:

- [This is the first](http://hub.jmonkeyengine.org/t/gradle-getdown-plugin/30562/4?u=erlend_sh) of the 3 (eventually 4) posts that were moved. If you click to unfold its reply, it comes up empty.
- [The second one](http://hub.jmonkeyengine.org/t/gradle-getdown-plugin/30562/5?u=erlend_sh) is pointing to the 1st topic, which is wrong because it was originally a reply to the post directly before it.
- The third one is OK, followed by my reply.
- [The fourth](http://hub.jmonkeyengine.org/t/deployement-with-gradle-getdown-plugin/30562/8?u=erlend_sh) is replying to something that doesn’t exist.
