Converted forumtopic deleted after deleting forum [#210728]

After changing the content type of a forum topic into anything else it shows up as the new type in the content list.
The forumtopic content list doesn't show the changed node anymore.

Above statements are just as I expected, but when I deleted the forum which previously contained the just converted forum topic, it automatically also deletes the converted forum topic with another type.

When I removed the node from the forum table in my database before deleting the forum with the ui the problem was solved.

So it would be nice if the mod also deleted the node from the forumtable, in which case the node won't be deleted when a forum would be deleted.

This issue is reported in #192103: Forum posts deleted!!! and marked as "won't fix" by the maintainer, so I'm changing this to a support request.

dmsmidt, could you please describe how you remove the node from the forum table in the database? I've next to no experience in fiddling with the database -- I've tried "show tables" and similar a few times, but that's all -- so I'd appreciate a very basic description, if you have the time.
