Hi Mods, (or anyone else who wants to explain this with a minimum of sarcasm or cynicism )
I've been here a few months and generally love the forum- btw, thanks for the work you do to keep the place running smoothly.
Wanted to ask a few questions because I'm still puzzled sometimes by this thread splitting and merging thing... (I skimmed the FAQ section and did not see these Qs addressed)
1) When a thread has " "MERGED" -----> " at the beginning of the title, does that mean it's the original thread, or it's a combination of multiple threads?
2) For this type of thread, how do we know at what point in the thread the "MERGE" occurred?
3) When threads are merged, do the former originals disappear, or do the titles remain in their respective section with a notice (as per a "moved" thread)
4) I have the same basic questions about a SPLIT thread, just in converse form, if that makes sense.
thanks-
