Hi,

Right now in vbulletin we have the option to merge threads.

When we select two threads and use the merge feature, it will merge the threads and arrange the posts by the date on which they are posted.

What I need is a new feature .. say "Merge Threads and First Posts"

What this should do is, when I select two threads and click on "Merge Threads and First Posts", it should merge the first posts in the two threads into a single post and then merge the two threads normally.



For eg:

Thread 1 >> Post 1 --> This is post 1 in thread 1 (July 2007)
Thread 1 >> Post 2 --> This is post 2 in thread 1 (August 2007)

and so on in thread 1 ...

Thread 2 >> Post 1 --> This is post 1 in thread 2 (September 2007)
Thread 2 >> Post 2 --> This is post 2 in thread 2 (October 2007)


When I use the existing merge threads feature, it will do the following


Merged Thread >> Post 1 --> This is post 1 in thread 1 (july 2007)
Merged Thread >> Post 2 --> This is post 2 in thread 1 (august 2007)
Merged Thread >> Post 3 --> This is post 1 in thread 2 (sep 2007)
Merged Thread >> Post 4 --> This is post 2 in thread 2 (oct 2007)


But instead what I need the output thread to be is,

Merged Thread >> Post 1 --> This is post 1 in thread 1 + This is post 1 in thread 2
Merged Thread >> post 2 --> This is post 2 in thread 1 (aug 2007)
Merged Thread >> Post 3 --> This is post 2 in thread 2 (oct 2007)


===============

Hope I was clear enough

If also there could be a credit given to the poster of the second thread in the final merged thread (something like .. other contributors are "person a, person b etc ..") that would be perfect.
