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.

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.
