Is there anything in `/logs` when you attempt to move stuff?

I have only been able to do limited testing without annoying members (mailing list mode enabled) - but so far it seems to be just that topic.

There are 22 posts in the topic - I am selecting the last few (that went off topic) to move.

I also tried doing select+below vs select each post individually - same error.

In case you still have that problem or it happens again, it could help to check the network tab. I was able to find the error there when I had a similar error in the browser console:
