This could alleviate a lot of misunderstandings/complaints. Capitalize on this good fortune, one word can bring you round ... changes. ID: 600173 ·

The second (email all contributors to a moved thread) is (a) not really necessary as users can find the new thread from their post history and (b) not really practicable as it would mean scanning the thread for unique posters and (c) would generate extra emails which could easily annoy more people than they help.

I've got some good ideas, eh? They don't all have to be. But, I promise, 99.44% of my ideas will be good. ;) Capitalize on this good fortune, one word can bring you round ... changes. ID: 600243 ·

The first point (automatically include the new thread details in the notification email) is a good one. The email notice already contains the url link to the thread moved. Click the link and go to the thread. The second (email all contributors to a moved thread) is (a) not really necessary as users can find the new thread from their post history and (b) not really practicable as it would mean scanning the thread for unique posters and (c) would generate extra emails which could easily annoy more people than they help. I agree to all three points here. me@rescam.org ID: 600382 ·
