    The fork topic feature on "topic tools" is very similar to what I want, but it will create a new thread. I want to select multiple replies and move them all at once to an existing thread. There is already a feature to move replies one by one, but it's a lot of work if you want to move a whole group of replies.

    @Pixel he wants the sorting decision to only apply to the topic he's in, not to every topic he goes to after.

    For example, I am using the module nodebb-plugin-custom-pages and created a page called home.tpl and route /home, now if I change home page to a custom url /home and navigate to home page, it opens up /home but it is still visible in url. While setting it up to popular, /popular does not show up in url.

    @julian even for the last edit, It will be a great addition, if you can specify message ("what was changed or why edit was made, etc."). Edit history is a bit overkill for general forum

    I also need spoiler. Both plugins are not Ok for me. One is old, and there is no good idea about multiline. Second one is BBCode related. I already have many plugins to support. Don't know If I will have time and desire to add one more plugin...

    @psychobunny said: Makes sense to me. So far we've abstracted out most 3rd party things (let's say, FB SSO for example). Why not gravatar then, sounds good to me. Don't mean to push, but was wondering if it's possible to disable Gravatars?

    I am fairly sure this would be our no. 1 feature request as well. Group chats, without it .. it just feels like 2003 all over again.

    Currently watching categories is opt-out. On forums having lots of new topics, this results in a huge number of items in example.com/unread. I think the unread page would be far more useful if watching categories was opt-in. That way /unread would contain only the items a user is interested in from the start and they won't have to go ignore a bunch of categories in order for /unread to become useful.

    They have been planning on doing something like this for a while, but with the NBBPM site itself. Adding abilities to report plugins and have them pulled from the official list, etc

    @pitaj that's true but if not done properly, aliasing links could be very dangerous for a site's search engine ranking. Personally, I wouldn't go down that route (no pun intended ha).

    I think this is plugin territory. In my forum I have several threads where only admins can post updates for users. Not really a discussion topic, more of a change log or mini blog. If posts were to start merging the updates would get tangled. Just one use case, but I'd prefer the core code not to automatically join double posts....or at least make it an option.

    @Nicolas It is! Spam be gone plugin is bundled with all installed and active by default. However, I do believe the defaults are all off, so perhaps @akhoury can amend...
