Maybe now with the new thread launched, you should accept an answer? — Asaf Karagila 2 hours ago

@AsafKaragila That sounds reasonable. I also thought that link to the thread might be edited either into your answer or into the question. (Maybe we should wait a bit before that, to see whether the newly created thread is closed/deleted...?) — Martin Sleziak 2 hours ago

Yeah, I think that giving it a couple of weeks to see how it goes is probably the wiser idea. — Asaf Karagila 2 hours ago

Is there a way to copy comments to chat manually that preserves their author attribution? — Henning Makholm 2 hours ago

@HenningMakholm You mean that the author of the comment is the author the same as the chat user posting the message right? I am unaware of such possibility. And the meta.SO posts mentioned here suggest that there isn't such thing. (One of those posts is feature request with score over 100.) — Martin Sleziak 31 mins ago

x @Martin: Yes, that's what I meant. Your suggestion that one "doesn't have to wait" until the site offers to move the conversation sounded like one could manually replicate this effect of the automatic move too. — Henning Makholm 27 mins ago

@HenningMakholm Well, you don't have to wait. But the comment will be posted with your name. (And the MarkDown code for the comments But at least the text of the comments is there) I guess the example I linked shows what I meant. An I'll add these comments as an example here. It is not the same thing, but the best I can think of. — Martin Sleziak 2 mins ago
