Comment mover: thread management for forums
The comment mover module allows you to move comments in a thread, move a comment to another thread and move comments to a new thread and vice versa. It can be used should a user post a comment in a wrong topic or posts a comment that should be a new topic.
Comment mover is designed to be integrated into the OG2List mailing list manager, but also works on its own for any Drupal site which has forums and comments. Redirectors to the new positions of the comment or node will be added as appropriate.
You can:
- move a comment to another thread below the same post by clicking on the prune link below the comment to go to move comment page.
- move a comment to another post on the prune comment page.
- Make a forum topic from a comment on the prune comment page.
- Merge a post into a thread below another post by going to the graft tab of the post.
Comment Mover Module
Are these instructions up to date? I don't see a "move" link; only "prune" and "graft" links. I can move forum comments from one place to another, but cannot move a forum comment to a new forum thread. There is no "move" tab.
I'm using the 4.7 version of the module.
No longer up to date
You can move nodes in the same way as comments, by clicking their prune link, then grafting them on other nodes / comments (provided you enable pruning for the node type in admin/settings/comment_mover). Note that not all node types are equally well supported.

moving forum comments
I'm only trying to move forum comments, not nodes. It doesn't seem to work.
Drupal's forums can be confusing. I often see people adding comments to an existing thread when they mean to start a new thread. I want to move those comments to new forum threads.
Go to administer >> blocks,
Go to administer >> blocks, enable the comment mover block.
Click prune on the comment you want to move (ensure correct settings on admin/setttings). Then visit a node / comment you want to graft it on OR promote it to a forum topic.
I wrote an extensive README.txt, but apparantly lost it.
Please post followup questions in the forum.
