I tried to move a message from one forum to another and I don't understand what goes into the text box labelled "Specify the ID of the destination topic (can be in other forums)".
I tried the message number as listed on the forum. For example, to the right of the message title I see "[message #124411]" so I tried to enter that number. But it didn't like it. Is there some other ID I should be using?
Cheers,
James.

Interesting question!
My 1st thought was "Move Topics", "Split Topics" but then I suppose you would need whatever permissions were required to make the Moved files themselves.
In the target forum of course! Somewhere in the old online manual there was something about the software "intelligently resolving conflicts" So I would imagine that if you did not have all the needed permissions to post images etc. then the software might not allow the action.
That may apply to the user who made the posts in the 1st place, and that's not even considering the Anonymous and Registered users masks or where they inherit from; so like I said "Interesting question!".
I have always presumed that having moderator permissions of both forums was required or that permissions to "Move Topics", "Split Topics" implied the ability to add the users to the new forum even if its group memberships were different than the original forum.
So the first place I would look is the group manager panels or have the admin look for conflicts in the permissions settings for the 2 forum groups.
