		<description>&lt;p&gt;I can think of nothing I could say so damn fascinating that it would require multiple-board posting.&lt;/p&gt;

Maybe &quot;Holy shit, an asteroid is hitting in ten minutes!&quot;

Don&#039;t worry about &quot;fixing&quot; the left side.  If you click on a title, it still finds the thread, and I left a signpost behind me.</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Congratulations&lt;/p&gt;

You&#039;re in a group of &quot;senior&quot; Zoners whose powers are less than a moderator but more than an ordinary registered user. That&#039;s what gains you access to those checkboxes.

Note that they&#039;re checkboxes and not radio buttons. That means you can assign a post to multiple boards--crossposting without the objectionable duplication of content.

But it opens a logical conundrum: What is the &quot;home&quot; board of a post when it&#039;s posted to multiple boards? What should show on that summary to the left as the post&#039;s board?

I took a first cut at the problem by recording the board to which a post is made and calling it the &quot;home_node&quot;. In the case of your moved post, that&#039;s OT, and that&#039;s why the summary still says &quot;Offtopic&quot;.

But I didn&#039;t think about what should happen when a post is moved and it&#039;s no longer at the &quot;home_node&quot;; I was focused on crossposting and adding boards to a post, which doesn&#039;t disturb its original home. This is going to be tricky, because there&#039;s no connection under the skin between those checkboxes and the &quot;home_node&quot; code--nobody would know to fix it when you move a post out of the home_node.

Best I can say, then, is problem noted, and I&#039;ll be thinking about a solution; but no guarantees.</description>
