    Since the maintenance window on the forum site last night, I can no longer move threads from the Microsoft Fix it Center forum over to any of the Microsoft Answers forums, because the choice for "Answers" no longer shows up in the dropdown list at the top of the move page. Please fix ASAP.

    After the transition (platform separation) the ability for moderators to move threads to and from Microsoft Answers to the other brands (TechNet, MSDN, Expression and Microsoft branded forums) will no longer be an option. Moving threads across TechNet, MSDN, Expression and Microsoft branded forums will continue to work as it does currently.

    With that said, as a moderator, am I only left with the option to suggest the user to re-post his or her question manually to the Answers forums? This sounds to me a serious regression. Please advice.
    Thanks.

    Yes, I agree.  A lot of questions in technet and some in MSDN should be moved to Answers.

    Unfortunately yes, Daniel.

    Yup, I don't like it.
