Unfortunately the people of XF have a lot of limits build in XF. For example we use the xf_thread.discussion_type to connect RM and other tables to a thread. But this means we always connect ONE thing to a thread. And i love to use a thread for many things (with all the problems putting tabs together. 
And now imagine this:
In the calendar i add a Christmas-Party.
Also i write an article (or short information) in the AMS.
Maybe i want to sell some funny costumes also for christmas in my shop.
And in the RM i add some PDFs with songs to learn before.
Hoh hoh how - now i have four threads more or less with the same infos. Because i dont like this, i add them all to one thread. And funny, funny - i dont get a new value for "thread_id" in the tables, where i need them, i have to add this by hand - if possible.
The wiki-man for example has no interest in changing the thread-id; and if i remember right, there are more issues.
I am not sure, if it is a good idea to melt threads and give the article automatically a new thread_id; probably this needs an addon like:
melt threads?
is there an AMS-thread also?
then show a checkbox "change amd thread_id"
Maybe this is a nice idea, maybe i will try to solve it.
