UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums General Suggestions and Feedback "Thread moved" notification

According to my old SysOping experience on Compuserve, moving a thread across boards can get very confusing for the initial poster and users in general, because they don't find their post in the board they initially posted/read it in.
So this would end up with endless "my post disappeared!!!" posts... (if not "my post was censored!!!" :-))
So, as regards moving threads, I was wondering if others would find it useful to:
- Keep the thread title in its initial board with something to identify it as "moved" (special icon that could not be used for other posts; color). Kindalike as in vB where a moved thread has an arrow incon, and its title is preceded by "Moved: $Title".
- Ideally an option to notify the posters by mail (Initial poster/all posters in thread) upon moving the thread.
The former point would be enough by itself, the latter is kinda "would-be-nice" only...
So, what do other think?

Yes, this is something I think would be very useful and appropriate. I've moved a couple of threads and received those, "Hey, what happened to my message?" e-mail and PMs, not only from the authors, but others who were already privy to them and were wanting to follow up with their own replies but couldn't because they were moved.

I agree, this one is a must!!! I would also like to see a link to the new location, e.g. make the body of the parent of the thread to be "This thread has been moved to the XYZ Board" and "XYZ Board" is linked to the new location.

Yes, of course... it seemed so obvious to me that I forgot to mention the link... thanks for making things clearer.
I believe vB has a direct link from the title to the new location, but I too think that a notification in the body of the initial message would be clearer. Maybe an admin option?
