Just reading a reply today that said "Not to hijack..." got me thinking. Is it possible for you to code, implement, or add an existing Split Thread feature for users to split threads when they start to turn to another subject matter that may be of interest, but is off-topic in the current thread?
This would allow us also to utilize the existing comment as the opener for the new thread, maybe even having a link back to the original thread? If there is a way of already doing this without admin/moderator help, I haven't found it yet.
Thanks.
