    Hello,

    A super moderator accidently massed moved all of my 40k plus threads from 50 plus forums into a single forum. I did not even know he had these capabilities in the Moderator cp. Anyways he is no longer working for me anymore and I am changing settings so cannot happen again. In mean time I need some kind of query to get them back where they belong. Does anyone know of a plugin or can create? Thanks

    Unfortunately vBulletin only logs where threads were moved TO... it does not log where they were moved FROM. So the system does not know where they were originally internally.

    thanks for the reply shawn. What if the redirects are still there? For example I can see the last three threads posted in all forums but they are just redirects to their new location. So how can I use this info to mass move them back? Thanks

    BTW for some reason I cannot get to that link you posted as it keeps saying I am not logged in to vb forums when I am logged in.

    If you have redirects for them all, then you would have enough data to move everything back. But there's not automatic mechanism to do it. You would need to code the system to do it.
