Move posts from one topic to another

[Nationwide]

I am the owner of the forum and a member poster made a post in an incorrect topic. How do I move that post from one topic to another? In the options tab, I used the feature to move a post and it asks me for a permalink. What is that and how do I enter it?
Thank you

The permalink is a "permanent link" that you can use to refer to a forum, topic or post at Nabble. To find the permalink of a topic, open it and click on "Options > Permalink". Posts also have permalinks, which can be found under "More > Permalink".

Please let me know if you need more help.

I am able to find the permailink under the options, but still confused on how to move posts from one thread to another. Can you assist?
TIA,

If it helps:

* forget all notions of drag and drop (from A to B)

1. begin by viewing B (the destination)

2. present the permalink for your destination

3. copy that permalink (to your clipboard)

4. go to A (the source, the thing you wish to move)

5. take the option to move

6. in the page that appears, you'll find a fairly up-front text field to which you should copy the address that you copied at step (3).

A little weird at first, but after you have done it once it makes sense :)

Thank you very much. That worked!
Do it once, it becomes easy!

A follow-up question:
How can I as the forum creator/owner, edit a post by someone? I do not want to delete it entirely, just edit some words in it.
TIA,

In the 'More' menu alongside a post you may find the option to edit.

If you do not find the option, then please consider (by coincidence)

Postscript: on the rare occasions when it is felt necessary to edit the words of another person, observe etiquette. There may be Nabble guidelines on this subject.

I looked at this menu and in it contains only these options:
Reply to author
Ban author
Remove post from thread
Move post to . . .
Print post
Permailnk

I do not see an option to "edit post" or a moderator edit function.

Note: It was not an email post.

TIA,
