Oops! I just noticed that this change took away an essential feature I use all the time - the ability to select and move message replies to an existing topic. Any chance you could bring it back?
Update: also, I see that it’s no longer possible to find the destination topic or message by entering the topic ID. Is there a strategic reason this was removed? Any chance it could be brought back?
And some more info about my user story. My discourse automatically sends a welcome message to new members, encouraging them to reply to introduce themselves. The welcome message has a line requesting the member to let us know if their reply should be kept confidential. We also start a new member intro topic (example) every two weeks, and encourage new members to introduce themselves. In many cases, they reply to the welcome message introducing themselves and we then move their reply into the intro topic. This is no longer possible.
I guess we can switch approaches and reply ourselves quoting the new member and mentioning them, but it doesn’t look quite as good.
