| I've had a couple of my threads moved from the original sub-forum to another. I think it would be courteous if the mod who moves a thread to let the OP know through a PM(?). |

Err, the curteous thing would be to be more careful about the sections you choose for opening threads.

"God asked me should he ought to put his world on the left, no God asked me should he ought to put his world on the right, no I said God, it really doesn't matter where you put your world Someone will come along and move it And it's always been the same It's just a complicated Game" XTC Nothing gets whacked. Just take the effort to look around and find the thread that disappeared. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

An easy way to find threads you've started is to go to your profile page on the forum and click "Find Members Posts". You can change the search to "any date" to find older ones. |

If it is happening to you regularly Cannon, it suggests you are unfamiliar with the layout of the forum. Here's a thread which should help you to find your way around, and to identify the correct sections for your threads. (It's easy enough to find threads using the search facility.

I understand. Can't say I blame you. It seems to be the norm around here.

I agree. I was on a hockey forum last winter/spring and TBH, it was just brutal. Make this place look like a Bridge game.

Personally I think there should be a little more stability with the process of moving threads. Sometimes there are the moved arrow noticfications there for weeks and other times there isn't any at all (or at least seem that way). Would it be too difficult to make some sort of standard (like leaving the thread in the orignial place with the moved arrow notification there for 3 days, or a week, or some set time period)? Or is there a standard procedure I'm just unfamilar with?
Not meaning to have that question come across crass or anything, just curious. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

No one and nothing removes them once a moved icon has been created because (and let's be brutally honest here) we're too damn lazy to keep track of each and every thread we've moved and we're all too damn old to remember to go back and change them even 10 minutes after we've moved them, let alone 3 days or a week.
If you look at some of the deeper pages in the main Prog Music Lounge (say page 309 for example) you'll see threads with moved icons dating back six years. ------------- What? |

| I very rarely leave the "moved" icon ticked because I am fed up with people starting threads in what is obviously the wrong place. I usually go down the first couple of pages of the Prog Lounge removing the "moved thread" icons after 24 hours. |

^At MMA I do a similar thing, leaving it for a short time or until someone else posts in the thread and then I get rid of the icon; I think it's a bit redundant. ------------- http://ow.ly/8ymqg" rel="nofollow">
