how to merge topics in admin ?

[PitaJ]

@kelnel you merge two topics by selecting them both in the category view, and going up to the topic menu.

@pitaj Thank you so much!

Is it possible to reverse the way these two topics are merging? I would like "ADA Masternode" to merge to "The Tavern" and not the other way around

[PitaJ]

I'll pretty sure that it's by posting date, and there's no way around it. I assume you've already checked selecting them in different orders.

I think you should also be able to move selected posts from inside another topic and move them to the second.

Yes, the way topic merging works is to combine the posts as they are posted, so timeline is not disrupted. We don't just append the posts from topic to topic like in other softwares.

@julian The merge topic is not working. Please see attached image. hopefully it is self explanatory. Basically the Merge key remains inactive, even though topics have been selected. Please advise. Thanks!

Can you please report this to our GitHub repo?

@julian is there any update on this? We are having the same problem with 1.12.2

"Merge" button stays inactive...

Clicking on the topic title should work. Needs better UX though since other tools work by clicking the user avatar.
