1) Request for enhancement

When I move a thread from one place to another, I would like the option of leaving — at (or as near as possible to) its original point in the topic:

• a simple placeholder that refers (without redirection) to the new URL.

— 

2) I had that idea a few weeks ago. Now, it bubbles to the surface alongside discussions such as

• (re)move from a forum that is private.

There are valid arguments against leaving a placeholder for something that has been removed (remove ≠ move) but I suspect that by bringing a few thoughts/requirements/wishes together we can find a single solution (set of simple options) that serves all purposes.

I can't quite put my finger on it yet, but I'm sure it's possible. For now, either

• leave it with me (I'll revisit this second aspect in due course)

or

• leap in with arguments...
