January 11th, 2012 XenForo Add-on – Thread Redirect

XenForo is an awesome forum software. It’s easy to use, navigate, administrate, moderate … whatever you need to do. One feature that XenForo has is the ability to make a forum act as a link. This is very useful. My only problem was that it showed up as a forum or subforum. I wanted to have a thread show up as a link. With no add-on currently available I jumped in and wrote one. This is based on the thread redirection system already built into XenForo when you move a thread from one forum to another.

Known Issues
