Gee your making a lot of noise because your thread got locked, get over it. They'll continue to get locked if they are not first regardless of the title of the original. Its not a competition of the bast thread title. First in is it, and it will also be moved if its not in the correct forum.

As for merging, at this stage can't be done.

No,I know I meant AUTONOMY

I think you mean initiative, not autonomy.

Thanks mate.
Logic isn't the strong point of many

Better still,if the original thread is a fail,because of an irrelevent title,wrong sub forum,zero interest -use some autonomy and LOCK THAT.

Can we at least rename thread titles like 'Oops B Oops' so that someone knows what the fuck they're about, so people DON'T make duplicate topics?

That would be a long, slow process. Plus, I'm not sure Vbulletin gives them the compatibility with the main site's news articles?

Why do we have three topics in feedback about repeated topics anyway? You know, aside from irony so delicious I'm making a sandwich.

They kinda need to upgrade to Vbullentin or something if they want more features.

From memory, this forum software doesn't include merging capabilities.

Merge them and make sure the thread title best describes the subject
