How to move a thread to another forum

[Former Member]

Hi,

sometimes i post a thread in forum: abap, general

but i'm not quite shure if its the right forum.

If i don't get answers i will move this thread to another forum. Therefore i close the older one and

post in the ohter forum.

Question: is it possible to move some thread from a forum to another one or have i to do it

as i have mentioned?

Thanks.

regards, Dieter

Hello Dieter,

I use the "Abuse" button (yellow triangle) & ask the mods to do this on my behalf

Hi,

so can someone tell me is there an official method we should use if a discussion is in the wrong topic forum?

Thanks,

Patrick.

Hi Patrick - Please click report abuse and suggest where the post belongs. From there the moderators will handle it.

moved here from ABAP General.

Both ways are OK, closing and re-opening or "abuse" button (although quite a harsh word under this circumstance...).

I once used the Abuse button to post a rant, hoping some moderator will read it. It seems to be a button with multifaceted talents.

The problem with ranting in an abuse report is that one person will see it and then it disappears.

Moderators tend to ignore them and approve the post.

There are different forums under ABAP Development.

For Ex: If your question is related to Sap Script/ Smartform, you can post it in Form printing. For Database related queries its ABAP Dictionary.

Similarily you have categories for performance tuning, Enhancements etc.

If you post it in wrong forum, moderators will shift that to the correct forum. You cannot do that. So its always better to post in appropriate forum or else you can use ABUSE button and note the moderators to take care of it.

Hello

As far as I know - you do not move post by yourself.

But you may to use ABUSE button with request to moderators
