Hi Paul,

Okay, I now know what happened. The posts I wanted to move crossed two pages. I selected all of the posts on the first page and made sure it said "move" at the bottom and then went to the second page and selected some more and then submitted it. It seems, when I moved pages, my "move" became a "merge" and so all of the 14 got merged into BetterRed's post in some condensed form. I then was able in a second step to move it to a new thread.

I should be more careful when doing things over multiple pages to make sure my setting for what to do does not change from "move" to "merge".

This is the second time I have messed up. There must be a curse or something!

Thanks Paul for finding the answer!
