I like it. But if it turned out to be too (something) could there be a notification on the thread that is being linked to, that another thread is
linked into it so we can pick up the posts by following the link back?
(If you can make sense of that sentence, you're goooood!)

Based on a board I moderate that originates from the same source, I'm confident it does support merge operations. The only real roadblock would be gradual destruction of the feature by successive modifications that make it now untenable.

And you get the gold star.
It used to be possible and was done, long ago. But with over 13 million posts in almost 784000 threads, that would mean placing some huge faith in the database to hold it all together. The fact it all holds together now is in no small part the result of SkepticOverlord's mad coding skills, some sort of techno-magic and I am sure a few goat sacrifices along the way.
Heck there used to be a time when posts could be deleted, just outright gone without a replacement banner such as the Off Topic or the dreaded "sorry, double post".
Could this feature return? Maybe, but I freely admit that I don't have the mind to code the database for it without returning errors and I used to make character generators with pull down menus in FileMaker 3, geek that I was it was for D&D 3rd edition. I was asked to join CodeMonkey on their work, but I hate working in Microsoft Access.
