I’m trying to move a [reply](https://community.freetrade.io/t/comparison-sites/8235/12?u=alex.s) in a topic to a new topic. As far as I can tell, the topic / post doesn’t have any security settings that would restrict what I can do with it e.g. it’s not a whisper. I can move other replies in the topic, that were posted [before](https://community.freetrade.io/t/comparison-sites/8235/11?u=alex.s) & [after](https://community.freetrade.io/t/comparison-sites/8235/13?u=alex.s) the post that I can’t move, to new topics.

The user whose post I’m moving is at trust level 4 but isn’t an admin or a moderator. I’m trust level 4, an admin & moderator.

If I choose ‘select+below’ when I select the post I’m trying to move, I still don’t have the option to move the posts to a new topic.

Is there anything else that could be limiting my ability to move this post?
