I messaged him in chat and ping’d him here in the thread.
I’m thinking that forking threads isn’t good because people may bookmark the original thread they posted in. He might have came back to the original thread via a bookmark and seen that all his new posts were just gone…
I think that locking threads is a better option once the issue is solved, or we have looser customs about people addressing their next issue in their original thread. With the forums searching functionality, it may not be such a bad idea to just let folks keep going in the original thread. Also, another option is after forking, leave a link behind for them to find where the fork went to. Maybe that should be a feature in nodeBB? Auto-link to the fork, and maybe even send an email to the individual who’s posts were forked? Maybe even auto-message them too with the link and a short message of what happened.
