Hi AfterHours, rather than delete the whole thread, I've closed it instead which has the effect of burying it to the bottom of the forum where nobody will normally see it (and if they do, they can click through to your new thread from the links you've left) and users following external links to the thread will still have a way of finding your updated list. (This also buys a bit of extra time to transfer any comments over which will take a little while longer as the forum software doesn't make it too easy).

Ok no problem. Id like to just get rid of 1 of my "Music Diaries" threads if possible as I wont be using it anymore and have transferred/merged the list under discussion with another one. So to keep them would just be unnecessary at this point.

I am fine with the entire thread being deleted if transferring the comments/replies is just too much work and no one has spoken up that this would be an issue with them (so far doesnt appear to be any issue).

However, maybe the old replies/comments could be transferred as well to the threads of the diary theyre now merged with? Unless thats a ton of work?

Its up to you in the end and whatever is most feasible.

Id like to delete this one, "Greatest Classical Music Works of All Time": https://www.besteveralbums.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=15061

That list (at the top of the "diary", first post, first page) has already been transferred to my "Greatest Classical Works & Best Recorded Performances" diary. If you decide to transfer the replies/comments over, they should go in that thread. Its this one here: https://www.besteveralbums.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=15098

How do I delete a thread of mine?

Didn't there used to be an option to do this when one was in edit mode? Am I just missing something obvious, or maybe confusing this with a different site?
