It sounds like you can simply tell us the "several forums" that you want to merge, and we can do it using custom code. This way you don't have to wait for the feature to come out.

That sounds great, actually. Thanks!

Also, after this, we can also merge all your remaining forums into one, so that you have all your orphan threads still under your node. Would that work?

Yes, that sounds great, too. It will work.

All right, so here are the forums I want merged:
Merge these into Fantasy Writing:
* All of its children (grandchildren, etc. as it has a ton, and they're not organized well for a single parent structure). I know the children show up, anyway, but there are a lot of inconsistencies now, and it could cause some issues with what I want to happen if they are left.

Merge all of these into HymnWiki:
* All of its children
* Hymn Critique [and children]
* Hymn Writing [and children]
* Hymn Reviews [and children]
* Hymn Lyric Writing
* Hymn Tune Critique

Merge all of these with Dream Analysis
* Dream Topics (not analysis) [and children]

Merge all of these with Music Topics
* All of its children, except for HymnWiki

Merge these with Poetry Writing
* Poetry Critique [and children]
* Poetry Advertising
* Empty children

Merge these with Abstract/Symbolic Poetry Writing
* Its children

Merge these with Song Lyric Writing
* Its children

All right, after this is done, here is the list of the only forums I want to keep:
* Fantasy Writing
* Poetry Writing [and children]
* Dream Analysis [and children]
* Music Topics
* HymnWiki
* Creative Works

All the leftover posts can just be put into Creative Works, and all other forums can be deleted. I'll do more of my own stuff after that to spruce things up. I'll probably separate most of the forums I want to keep from Creative Works later, though, to make them independent parent forums.

Is this doable? If its not, I just want to keep Fantasy Writing, Poetry Critique, Dream Analysis and Dream Analysis's children. And, all the posts without a home can go into Creative Works (hence, we'd keep that one, too). Feel free to do the first merging set of requests without further notice from me, if you like. If you don't want to do that, feel free to do the second option without further notice from me. Just tell me when it's all done, and which one is done.

Thanks!
