Copy post from one board to another?
« on: Tuesday 08 October 13 12:02 BST (UK) »
I recently posted a query on the Deciphering Board.  Is there any way to copy this post to the Armed Forces Board without deleting from the Deciphering Board?

Many thanks

If you just copy, that will mean you have a duplicate post, which confuses people. Why not  post a new query on the Armed forces board with a link back to the Deciphering Board so that people can see what has already been discovered?

The other way is to click on "Report to moderator" and (politely!) ask them to move it for you. ;D

I thought about that KG - but as Ceeoh said they wanted to leave the original post on the Deciphering  board, I didn't think that would work.
