Most of my users complains that splitting a new topic is not very obvious. I mean the newly created topic have only a small side reference to the original posts, just like there is a link into the topic.
My workaround until now is to edit each splitted topic and add at the very beginning of the topic „continuing discussion from here” (and add a link), but I think this could be automated somehow.
So the feature request is: can this be added automatically?
Thanks!
Do you mean when a moderator moves posts to a new topic or when a user replies as a new topic?
Edit: I’m assuming it’s the former.
Maybe similar to the “posts have been moved” yellow post the “new” topic’s OP could be yellow as well?
It has never been unclear to me, but I suppose there might be some that miss the fact.
No, not really. So, let me give you a real-life example.
Here is the end of the initial topic, which was forked into a new one:
Clearly enough, it’s obvious that things were moved around. But, if you go directly to the forked topic, you will see this:
Other than the red highlight, there is nothing that links to the original article. More than that, even the red highlight doesn’t explicitly says something about the relation with the initial topic.
(green highlight is the moderator note)
I’m not sure how reply as a new topic is highlighted, but i assume is the same?
这似乎从未得到解决。
“移动到新主题”的标记远不如“以新主题回复”清晰！
实际上，它们是一回事！版主将内容移动到新主题，本质上应等同于版主说“这应该使用‘以新主题回复’功能”。它应该像“以新主题回复”一样，在帖子开头包含“继续讨论来自 [旧主题]”的提示！
如果没有这一点，会显得非常尴尬！
补充说明：我明白了为什么会这样，因为“以新主题回复”涉及发布新文本，因此很容易插入那条关于“继续讨论来自其他主题”的预设文本（有人可以在发布前删除或编辑它）。而“移动”操作本身没有编辑/发布对话框。但我仍然认为，在执行移动操作时，应该在顶部自动添加一条“已从此处移动”的预设提示。这才是更合理的默认设置。
或许可以在移动界面中添加一个复选框，让用户选择是否包含移动通知？
