That's not the permissions set to investigate.

You need to look at forum moderation permissions. (can move/split/merge)

On the other hand, it is not open source, which means you cannot change it or publish it in a modified form.

Maybe I missed/overlooked something but I can't find any mention of this being a problem with 3.3.5, and moving posts for one topic to another (in the same forum of another forum) works as intended on all 3.3.5 boards I have access to (that includes localhost testing boards on different php versions (and different PWS) and also on live boards.
Could you provide a link please? (bugtracker? github?)

Thanks.
It finally dawned upon me: I'm so used to getting the topic_id where a post has to be moved to before initiating the actual move that I bypass the forum and/or topic selection automatically and didn't even test that since the actual moving does function as intended. :oops:
In my defense, the topic title is somewhat misleading (not an excuse and I should have looked further than the permissions).

The indications on how to replicate the error were clear from the beginning
TOPIC STARTER wrote: โ†‘Sun Jan 16, 2022 6:48 pm In phpBB 3.3.5 I can't move messages via MCP.

After I go from topic to MCP I see 'Move Posts" tab, but when I click "Select topic" I got "MCP forum view", not topics list.

SNIP
In addition, the author has posted some fairly explanatory screenshots
viewtopic.php?p=15801871#p15801871

It is always worth reading the topic and not just the title. ๐Ÿคซ That's what I did BTW.

However, I would like to add that the bug can be by-passed if you use the moderator tools directly from the topic itself.

As do I, but mistakes happen and I clearly wasn't paying proper attention at the time.

yours truly, (awaiting crucification) ;-)
