I want to apologize to the poster for inadvertently deleting their topic, "zeros of a function". The poster had placed an algebra query in calculus. I moved it to algebra and when I deleted it from the calculus forum, it was deleted from the algrebra as well. That was not my intention. I do not remember the old format being that way.
 
Galactus, this will be duly noted and taken in consideration at your annual performance review.
 
You can "move" the topic without noting it's being moved (by unchecking the box), so it only shows up in the new location. Then there's nothing to delete later, but the poster might repost and repost and repost... rather than going to the new location (even when provided a private-message link to that location).

On the other hand, you can leave the "shadow" topic, being now a link to the new location. But if you delete that "shadow", you delete its target as well.

Now, if I could just figure out how the "merge" thing works.... :oops:

Eliz.
