    Consolidating Subforums to Parent Forum

    Hi There,

    When I set up my forums I made way too many sub forums. It looks confusing and I have decided I want to consolidate these in to the parent forums.

    My forum is set up like this:

    -main forum
    ---sub1
    ------------subsub1
    ------------subsub2
    ------------subsub3
    ------------subsub4
    ------------subsub5
    ------------subsub6
    ------------subsub7

    Now I want to go to the parent sub1 forum and move all subsub1-7 posts in here and delete subsub1-7

    Problem is that all posts in subsub1-7 are indexed and the URLs have the subsub name in them.

    So how do I do that and 301 the whole lot so I do not lose links and indexing for all those posts?

    Thanks

    Kim

    Threads will auto-301.

    Forums, you can 301 manually with a CR as per:
    Renamed Category and forums - redirect
    where 'new' is the parent you are moving to.
