I guess she wants not only to move 1 or 2 messages from one forum to another. She used the word "merge" what would mean:
1. take all the topics from one forum and move them to the other.
2. delete the empty forum and rename the other.

that's pretty easy to do if FUDForum doesn't supply a feature like that.
if you have a webinterface to your database as "phpMyAdmin" you can do one single sql query to move all the topics from one thread into another.
I've tested it on my setup but it failed. Don't know why, but it should have worked. Probably protoss could help...

UPDATE `fud23_thread` 
set forum_id = new
WHERE forum_id = old;

whereas
- 'fud23_thread' is the your thread table (I'm using the prefix fud23_)
- "old" is the old forum id: look in your forum table (i.e. fud23_forum) and examine what "id" the forum has which will be emptied and what id the forum has which will be filled (the "new" one).

cheers - andy
