I made a post and I sort of realized it was in the wrong place. It should have been better placed in "Utilities and 3rd Party Applications" rather than "Mod Releases".
The problem is, I made a lot of linking directly to the actual post.

Would moving the post, also change it's address, thus rendering the links useless? Or will it automatically redirect to the new address, when clicking the old links?



PS: I gave a go for the "Life Advice" board, based on its description: Have a question for your friends here? We can help! - I was oscillating between this and General Discussion.

As far as I know topics have their own unique number which isn't related to whatever subforum/category they're found under. So there wouldn't be any effect on the links.


edit: effect? affect? why can't I spell anymore ;_;

Ok that's reassuring.
Any idea who would I have to write to in order to move the topic?

The "Move Topic" button's near the bottom of the screen, where you'd see the "Reply | Notify |..." bar. Then you look at the left side of the screen, and go a little downwards to find it. No need to write to Toady, unless you move a topic to Announcements by accident or something.

Ah, ok I see how this works now. Thank you!
A bit weird that before moving the topic, it says I should leave the link of the new one, but the new link is only known after completing the topic migration...?

EDIT: There was indeed a "... moved to [LINK]" . Would that [LINK] get replaced with the actual new topic address?
