This is really annoying because many new users have problems they PM me about that I would like to post generally to the community. Therefore, I try to “move to new topic” and for some reason it only allows me to move to existing…
Am I missing something?
I agree with this one - happens all the time and I wish it were possible to move PM to new topic. Basically the workflow is to create a new topic and move the discussion from PM to that topic.
There might even be a usecase for a “Convert to public topic” action on PMs.
I move PMs to new topics pretty frequently. Works really well on our install and it’d be pretty bad it we lost that feature. On v1.4.0.beta6 +882…
Oh interesting - this appears to be an option if there is at least one reply to the PM - but not on single topic private messages. I tend to only need to move replies so I hadn’t seen that weirdness before.
OK good info, so this is only a problem if the PM is a bare topic with no replies.
So your workaround, @AlexAB, is to reply then move it. Does this suffice?
