Im trying to figure a gently way to split posts. But i want to copy posts too.
Explanation:
Lets say a user creates a post about topic 1. Then as people post the subject starts moving to subject A. (ill use numbers as subject 1, and letters and second subject).
so to split letter posts out into a new thread.
You can either copy thread1 to a new (threadA). Then you can delete all the number posts. However the problem with this is the OP is a number post. So by deleting the first post, you end up deleting the whole threadA.
The other way is to split out letter posts into threadA. This is fine if you just want to split out all letter posts to threadA. However most of the time you need to keep one of the old posts to retain understanding. So post2 most likely spawned the branch of the second discussion. You can split post2 out with threadA, when you split the other posts out....however you want to keep post2 in thread1 too. So how can I split these posts out with keeping post2 in both old thread and the new thread?
