You might have experienced this when you moved a post from an old topic to a more recent one and the first post was replaced by that older comment. Posts in a topic are always ordered based on their creation date and time; this includes the first post and comments. The current implementation of 'moving topics' have been initially designed to prevent duplicates, so when there is already a topic with the same question, a moderator can move all the duplicated posts and topics that has been created afterwards into one destination and answer them all in one topic.





To prevent the original opening post from being replaced, I would recommend you to move the comments to a topic where the first post has an older timestamp.





Currently we are working on some improvements on our platform core and keeping the topic starter always as the first post is something we will pick up as well.
