In what situations should a PHP forum moderator move a thread to a different subforum for better visibility or relevance?

When a thread in a PHP forum is not getting enough visibility or is more relevant to a different subforum, a moderator should consider moving the thread to the appropriate subforum. This can help increase engagement and ensure that the thread reaches the right audience. To move a thread to a different subforum, the moderator can update the database record for the thread to change its subforum ID. 

// Assuming $threadId is the ID of the thread to be moved and $newSubforumId is the ID of the new subforum
// Update the thread record in the database to change its subforum ID
$query = "UPDATE threads SET subforum_id = $newSubforumId WHERE id = $threadId";
$result = mysqli_query($connection, $query);

if($result){
    echo "Thread moved successfully to new subforum!";
} else {
    echo "Error moving thread to new subforum: " . mysqli_error($connection);
}
