    I would be surprised if this wasn't asked before but I couldn't find it anywhere.

    So basically the idea would be this.

    sometimes I want to to start a thread and I have a number of forums that it would suit and I'd like to get the feedback from the readers of all the relevant forums but some users may not read the other forums.

    so say i wanted to start a thread on pubs selling drink for 3e or less in dublin city.

    I could put it in Dublin city

    Bargain requests

    Beer and wine

    etc.

    If i started 3 threads in 3 different fora people would be getting pee'd off

    i'd also probably have 3 sets of answer in 3 different places from 3 different groups

    So what I would like to do is start the thread in one fora and link it to the other relevant fora

    that way i get the response from the groups of people who read the 3 different fora's it's all in the one thread nice and tidy and i don't get a telling off for cross posting

    too much hassle?

    confused yet?

    The main problems here are:

    Who moderates it?
    What rules apply?

    I hadn't got that far ;)

    I guess there would be a main fora so the main fora the one the thread resides in would be moderated by the moderators of that fora.

    if the thread breaks any rules or a user breaks any rules of any of the linked fora's any of the mod's of the main or the linked can close/ban etc

    I see what your getting at tho.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
