Hi there,
I've got a thread with about 8500 posts. Right now the first few posts appear in this order:-
-My post
-Someone's post
-My post
My idea is to make it appear in this order:-
-My post
-My post
-Someone's post
-My post
It is, however, crucial that I keep the thread ID, meaning I cannot simply create a new thread and merge the old one to it.
My plan now is to create a new thread, split the current so that it is left with only the first post, merge the new thread with the current one so I now have 2 posts in front and then merge everything else back.
However, it appears that it's essentially impossible to split a thread this big, since attempting to split the thread gives me: "~Nvm, irrelevant~". Not sure about this, but even if I can increase the maximum execution time (from calculations, I require 163 seconds), I would still need to tick the 8000+ checkboxes to leave the first post.
Please advice.
Thanks.
