Q: My thread that I started got moved. Why?
A: Probably because it was in the wrong forum, or a Moderator felt it was better placed elsewhere.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: I started a thread asking a question and it was merged into another thread. Why?
A: Probably because the question is a commonly asked one, answered many times before. The answer you were seeking is not only located on the merged thread, but merging threads helps to keep the Forums organized.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Why are threads closed?
A: For various Administrative reasons at a Moderator's discretion. For example:
- the topic is no longer valid for the current software
- it's located in Feedback & Support, and the original question was answered
- it may be a heated topic and closed to prevent arguments
- it may have gone in too many directions, thus confusing
- it may be redundant
- the thread has run its course
- commenting is unnecessary because it's an Administrative thread
