    How do I move a topic to a different forum?
    « on: January 06, 2009, 12:33:48 PM »
    I have a topic that seems to be in the wrong forum. It's in the Computer Software forum but needs to be moved to the Virus, Malware, Spyware forum. How do I do this?

    only moderators can move topics.

    you can make a new post in the malware forum with the same content and then report your previous one as a double-post.

    Don't worry, I doubt you'd get in trouble  ;D

      using the "report to moderator" link on the bottom right of your post.
      enter "double-post" as the reason, and one of the moderators will take care of it for you.

      No need to, a moderator moved it earlier before this topic, I think.
