I'll just go and repost them in the right place.

No, don't do that. Duplicate posts are bad and you'll lose points when we delete them.

However, might be good if people could flag their own posts as being in the wrong forum and give a quick explanation as to why.

Use the Alert Moderators link. We'll move the post for you.

Way to move posts between forums/flag them as in the wrong forum

Another suggestion that came to me today since 2 of my posts were moved to an inappropriate forum. This was probably my fault for putting the words "ratings control" in the title which got them moved to the ajax toolkit forum. Unfortunately, all the code in this control is custom and doesn't use Ajax or any of that toolkit, so responses were not useful.

Not a big deal since I'm no longer moderated. I'll just go and repost them in the right place. However, might be good if people could flag their own posts as being in the wrong forum and give a quick explanation as to why. In legitimate cases, this would alert the moderators and allow them to move them around(you might already have that ability, but not sure).

Just something I think could be useful in the future. Thanks again for all the work moderators. Keep it up!
