AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the new capabilities of a Super Mentor, who can move threads between forums and is inviting users to request specific topics to be relocated from the Archives. Users are encouraged to post URLs of threads they want moved, with a promise that the Super Mentor will act within 24 hours. There are mentions of how topics may not appear immediately in forums until a new reply is added, particularly if the last post was over 30 days old. Several users request the movement of specific threads, and the Super Mentor confirms these requests have been completed. The conversation maintains a light-hearted tone, with jokes about the Super Mentor's abilities.

Hi,

Now that I am *drumroll* Super Mentor, I can move topics to and from any Forum . No doubt, all of you were tracking certain threads with much interest. In order to ease the transition to the new format, post a URL to any topics you would like to see moved out of the Archives and into the current Forums here. I will try to move it within 24 hours.

You mean there are actually things a Super Mentor doesn't naturally know?

*sudden insecure feeling creeps in*
 
Isn't a SUPER MENTOR supposed to be a "mind-reading/telepath"??
Why would they ask questions of gnomes/peons like us?? Heck they should just know!
 
I tried it, and it works. But the Topic did not show up until a new post was added. When I went to the "Aerospace Engineering" Forum, the "X-Prize" Topic did not show up, but when I used the search feature to look for it, it showed as being in that Forum. At any rate, when I added a new reply to that Topic, it then showed in the Forum. So if you've asked to have a Topic moved and you don't see it, try searching and then adding a new reply to it.

All hail the Ubermentor!
 
...And if we can get them to run in circles, the "Tor-mentors" (?)

Done.

That's because the last post was more than 30 days old. If you reset the drop down menu at the bottom of the screen to show threads from farther back, then it will always be there.
 
Well, congratulations, Tom!

I have nothing to move right now, but I probably will soon.
 
CHEEESE! he still didn't get that "telepathic message" from me yet, must be something in the airwaves, or something else, Hey! maybe he is the resistive type and I'm just fooling myself more then anyone else!



(P.S. this is JUST A JOKE!)

If it's alright with AG, I'd like to request that his "Current Human Evolution" thread be moved out of the Archives (into "Biology").

Done. We'll "talk logic" soon.
