Hi Computer-Joe,

I can fully understand your frustration when this occurs.

From the Community perspective, I can see a downside to locking out moves when a reply window is open.

A member might be composing a very long and complex response, or is interrupted and walks away from the computer with the reply window open.  This could cause a substantial delay in moving a message to the proper location.

However, we want the forum platform to be as user friendly as possible and your suggestions are highly valued.

So even though I know the administrators read the posts here, I will be sure to highlight this thread to their attention.  There are some good suggestions here from both Computer-Joe and aviewer.

Thanks!
