Combing Selected Posts From Several Threads

[zzSleepyJohn]

Several different threads in Internet, computers, communication, technology in Thailand have been discussing users' gripes about the poor service offered by their ISPs, and this week when some major cable breaks disrupted services more generally, the gripes all started getting stronger, but important information about the breaks and their effect on the network didn't immediately get through to all the threads. Bits of information about it did appear on some of them, though.

I tried posting what I knew about the cable breaks on some of them myself, but all the news and chat about the cable breaks, which I would consider to be of interest to all internet users, remained fragmented amongst 4 threads at least. Maybe more.

Thread topics 166047, 166185, 167153 and 167254 refer.

I was wondering about starting a new "Broken Internet Cables" thread myself, but can't really see how I could pull together all the fragments from the other threads in an easily readable form without a lot of boring requoting. I suppose I'd then have to post a link to my new thread in each of the other 4 threads.

Any better ideas?

I’m afraid you can’t merge (combine) topics. Only a moderator or administrator can to this.

What you can do, though, is click on the REPORT button below a post in a duplicate topic. This will bring up a window where you can suggest which topics should be merged and a moderator will take care of it.

I am now going to look at the four topics you suggested for merging.

I see that some of these four topics have been started many months ago. In such case, it is not good to merge them.

Since topic 166185 has “cable broken” in its title, you could perhaps use that one for a discussion of that issue.

Thanks. Though I'm not sure if merging is really the answer in this case, because the "cable break" theme only came up just this week, whereas the original threads were griping about other issues long before the cables broke. Ideally what I would like to see assembled into a new topic would be just the few fragments about cable breaks extracted from the original 4 threads, and leave the old threads to carry on as they are. Perhaps on reflection the simplest way would be to just start a new thread on cable breaks and make 4 seperate announcements on the original threads to that effect?
