Hello all, Is there any way of linking two posts together as a reply when the author didn’t bother to? Vice-versa, is there a way of correcting the reply association of a post when the author did it incorrectly?

I believe deleting the reply and re-posting it is the only way… I don’t know how often this issue comes up, but it does seem like there could be a better way!

I just ran into this. User obviously aimed a reply at a specific post, but replied to the topic. The reply requires the context of the earlier post to make sense. It would be nice to be able to administratively “re-parent” the reply somehow.

I think there is a Feature topic [image] Change "in reply to" when editing Feature Sometimes users accidentally reply to the wrong post. When that happens I often see them awkwardly apologize to the person they accidentally replied to, or delete their post just to recreate…
