How do I

[jaxen]

1. Indicate a thread is no more available for new posts. but can be maintained as read only?

2. How do I move a thread to a relevant sub forum or different forum?

3. What is the procedure to escalate/report abusive behaviour- for moderators and general users?

A1 and 2. Step 1 - Enter the thread you want to work on.

Step 2 - Click on the drop down list (Thread Options) at the botom right of your screen. Here you can open/close a thread; also through "edit thread" you can edit parts of the thread or chnage its title to say, fo instance "read only thread"

Step 3 - To move a thread, under thread options, select "Move/Copy Thread." You should get a screen that has a drop down list of all the forums and subforums. Choose the one you want to move the thread to. Select the option "Move thread and leave redirect in previous forum." That permits people to click on the redirect and find the thread.


A3. You are the boss. Use common sense. If a user is persistent in bothering us, let Monica and me know.

Thanks all.
