I was on the original thread, clicked on the box to highlight the post, scrolled down, selected "Copy", clicked on "merge with existing thread", entered the thread address, and when i entered my password to confirm i got that message. Tried twice more, and it's still doing it.

Thanks.

The best place for this is the Site Development forum. I'll move it there now.

Quick update.

Even though i received that error message i've checked the thread (just now), and the copy post action went through at the time i attempted it, counter to the error message.

The error would be related to the attachments belonging to that post - does the copied post have the correct attachment? If you drop in the link I can check and make sure everything went all right in the background too so there's no fallout apart from that error you got.

That's perfect, I'll run some tests here locally and hopefully reproduce your error and squash the bug.

Thanks

Should have clarified that.

I attempted to copy the post, but as it's the first post it copied the thread.
