I created that by hitting "new topic" in the monkey Lounge. That's not how I start a new discussion thread though, right? I'm just not sure where I put the title of a new lively discussion.

( I KNOW this is going to embarrass me when the answer finally whops me up side the head! )

So I just start a new topic in Natalee Holloway and name it Lively Case Discussion #??? Date? I can do that!

I'm sorry! I thought you said not to start a new topic, and couldn't figure out how to do it any other way! ( See, I said I'd be embarrassed! )

[crazybabyborg]

CBB ignore this post

Ignore you? Never, San! 

[klaasend]

Yes CBB - you do it the same way.  Just in the Natalee Holloway forum.  The only difference is that you STICKY it where this one is not STICKIED.

[crazybabyborg]

OK! I'm making progress! Now, when do I "sticky this topic?"

Don't be embarrassed CBB.  I might not have explained myself right.

You are correct when you start a new topic just go to where you want to start it.  Like Natalee Holloway, Monkey Lounge, Missing Persons, etc.

Lord, Klaas! You're a mind reader too! So, when the thread is created, you "sticky it", not when you lock it. I can do that!

I'm printing this thread so I can refer to it and really appreciate the patience!

LOL@San! This is like blogging aerobics! So, if splitting a thread creates one with the same subject, couldn't you just split at page 50 and modify the subject?

If SPLITING a thread is the same as it was in the old forum, you have to have a thread already created to SPLIT to.

You would not use it for the LCD at page 50.  You would use it for instance if there was a TON of off topic stuff in the LCD and you wanted to move that to the Monkey Lounge.

Oh wait, I remember...you can name the new thread when you split I think.  Anyway, you still wouldn't use it for the LCD when creating a new thread.

Yes that's what I would do.

I thought you could split the thread and move the posts to a certain thread that was created if you wanted to but I don't think you can.  At least I don't.  That's why I created a San Test Thread.  I wanted to move a post from here into that one.

This is exactly what I wanted to do and I'm having a problem with that.

I just tried it, and you're right. It worked ok, except I couldn't rename or modify the subject. OK, no splitting for a new LCD.

I wanted to do what Dugga did the other day when he merged topics.  I thought that would be splitting a topic.

[crazybabyborg]

WAY COOL! You can select posts for moving! It just cuts 'em out!

[San]

FORGET WHAT I SAID ABOVE I SEE A MERGE BUTTON

[crazybabyborg]

I don't see anything that would let you merge.............Wonder how he did that?

OK, I can lock a thread, start a new one, and split a topic if I really wanted to. I can't imagine another situation other than a bunch of OT to do that, but I could do it.

What else do I need to do?

[crazybabyborg]

FORGET WHAT I SAID ABOVE I SEE A MERGE BUTTON

You do???
Where?

[klaasend]

CBB - I'm going to be calling it a night soon.  Have to get up early tomorrow.  I'll be gone for a while but will be back tomorrow afternoon.

Have fun!
