Move thread page

Could we change the destination forum comboBox to a listBox? It would make navigation much easier when moving threads from one forum to another.

Thanks.

Em... what page are you talking about? The one I see (Thread Tools -> Move Thread -> Perform Action) is a straight list.

Or are you looking for it to be changed from a list to a combo?

It's a combo for me, unless there's an option I'm missing?

Odd. Maybe it's an option I'm missing.

Would you mind screenshotting it?

List for me.. always has been..

Screen grab attached.

It's probably something really obvious that I'm missing. I've tried changing styles too, doesn't change it.

That is a list box as I would understand it.

Combo box for me is this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combo_box

Do you mean that you want all the forums in strict alphabetical order and no leading whitespace so that you can type the initial characters to jump to the right place in the list?

The current way the list is organised is (like too many things) kinda baked into vBulletin so it's a pain in the arse to modify. It is on my list of things that I'd like improved though.

That'll be great if and when that drop box is changed to a box like the findaforum box in the beta menu.

As I understand it -
List box shows a scrollable list
Drop-down shows a single option with a scrollable list
Combobox is a drop-down which allows you to specify your own input.

Although it won't help with the typing aspect, would it help at all to change the size of the control so that it shows ten items at once (for example)?

Evil Phil

Combobox-dropdown-picklist-whatever. Can it be replaced with a listbox or failing that can we have auto-suggest added to it?

It's not like I'm moving threads left right and center but its a pain to use when I have too.

<edit>
Showing 10 items at once would also be good.
