basically a conversion turns something into something else
for example, you cant add an integer and a real together, eventhough they are both numbers...
so instead of going:
Trigger:
Actions
Set Real[1] = Real[1] + Integer
you do this
Trigger:
Actions
Set Real[1] = Real[1] + Real(Integer)
which converts the integer variable into a real number, real numbers are capable of having decimals (ie: 1.50, 3.21), integers arent (ie: 1, 2, 3)
with conversions you can turn an integer into a real, or string, etc and visa-versa (reals with decimals changed into integers just take off the decimal (ie: 1.99 - > 1)
Hmm, about the Headline News, I noticed threads are being moved into the subforum (Health News, Environmental News, etc.). When that happens, the TH Forum Home page loses the articles, and instead would show old articles posted 1 or 2 weeks ago.
Awesome Ghan thanks! I was purposely not moving the first 15 news articles in Headline news to the different subforums but I guess I don't have to do that now?
Question: Is there a way to remove thread redirects? It creates a copy of the moved thread and takes up space, and I am leaning towards wanting to remove them in the Headline News. But if they have an expiration date, I guess I'm fine with it.
If you move a thread please leave a permanent redirect. You can delete any redirects after 6 months. The redirects are left to help Search Engines find the moved content.
if a redirect ends up in the same forum as the post it goes to though I think the redirect drops or fails or something but they are not bugged out and when you are working on an indirect the original post is safe.
