In reply to How to redirect, posted by Dr. Bob on July 27, 2004, at 1:10:28
If someone redirects a thread to a new board using the method you described above:
> 1. Repost the post to a different board
>
> Go to the posting form with "include above post" checked.
> Change "board" to the new board.
> Add "« poster" or something like that to the subject.
> Post.
>
> 2. Post a link to the original board
> ...will the original poster receive email when new messages are added to the redirected thread on the new board? For example, the current thread was started by malthus on the Writing Board:
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/write/20040320/msgs/370694.html
Did malthus and KID A (who posted on the original thread before you redirected it here) receive email notification when I posted this message? (assuming they checked the appropriate box before submitting their posts and haven't cancelled)
It seems like a good idea that this should happen; it might help to keep redirected threads alive. If it does, it provides a good reason for NOT tacking the repost onto an old thread on the new board, as I did recently (see previous post).
