....if this should go here, but what does 'split thread' mean? I keep seeing this term used everywhere, but don't know what it is about :oops: :?

It's a Mod thing. It's when we take certain posts out of one thread, and create a new thread with them. It's usualy used to remove spam and flames from a thread, or to pull out a worthwhile but off-topic conversation out of a thread.

*inserts obligatory note that 'thread' is in fact incorrect becase phpBB doesn't use threaded discussions, but topic based ones...*

Hush, you! I'll use vernacular, and you'll like it! :P

I had a thread that was split. When was this feature thought up?

It's standard on a phpBB board.
