Re: board does not have a valid parent

[APDamien]

I ran into this problem as well. I can't remember exactly how I got there, but it involved creating two boards in a new section, then trying to reorder them -- I think I tried to make the first board come after the second and they both ended up detached.

I stumbled into a fix: there's a way to make a "Salvage Area" appear with  "Salvaged Topics". Going in  there I was able to move the boards to where I wanted them.

Maybe somebody who's more of an expert can reply with the "how to" for this, for the use of future admins who run into this problem.

If it happens it's an accident (though can be caused a little more intentionally if you do this in multiple tabs at the same time) - but the find/fix repairs routine will repair them and let you reorganise them once again.

Is find/fix the same as "Salvaged Topics"? Or a different way of fixing the problem?

It's literally the same thing.

All it's done is say 'I have a board that isn't valid, I'm just going to make a new one whose name is Salvaged Topics and move things into it'
