Question

Merging similar threads?

In the main page of the Reader forum (first 30 topics), I count 5 threads refering to this problem:

http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1185752?tstart=0

and I think that this abundance of parallel discussions is a waste ot time for everyone, and also a waste of bandwith.

In other (non-Adobe) forums I frequent, parallel threads are speedily merged by moderators. Is it possible that the Jive software allows such merging in this case?

    This topic has been closed for replies.

    No, to the best of my knowledge there is no such functionality.  It's easy to split (branch) a discussion, but I don't see how to merge topics.

    Great. Yet one more example of how suitable for these forums the Jive software is. I have an uneasy feeling that most recent requests for small improvements seem to receive a "the Jive software doesn't have this functionality" reply. And I cannot help wondering how many large companies would accept a "the software doesn't allow this" as an answer to requests to modify things in their sites.

    Mods can do this, but it takes a note to one to perform the task if they do not follow thread closely.  I have used PM in past, but not sure what "correct" method is.
