Why do things get moved.
#1
If you post different topics in personal, does it all get moved to just the first topic you ever posted to personal even if they are not related at all to each other. I posted last night about my Mal going to the vet and finding out he had cancer and we where going to have to put him to sleep on Tuesday. We had to do it today, and I went to post to that topic, and found it mixed up with two total different topics I had posted in the personal that were not related but had been put together. One was about my Bichon getting lost and the other was family related. So now there is three totally unrelated topics in one. I am probably asking this question in the wrong spot, but was not sure where else.

Sorry to hear about your pet, it must be very distressing.
Most of us who use the PDA section tend to keep one diary, and put all our news and thoughts into that one. You can change the heading to let people know that you are now writing about a different subject within your diary. If you do that it's helpful to put the page number on the new heading so that people can find where you started talking about a new subject.
If you keep to the one diary, then all your friends will be able to find you more easily, at least, that is what works for me.

I don't know why some topics get moved to diary or personal and others don't. I never write anything in the diary/personal section, yet one of my posts about going to the doctor was moved there.
I have seen others post about going to the doctor and it didn't get moved. Why your post was moved is beyond me. I guess it is at the discretion of the moderators....Maybe they will enlighten us on the subject! :D

If you are talking about PDA, then most likely posts from your new topic were added to the end of your previous topic. You should only maintain one topic in the PDA and update the title to reflect the most current events.
Having one topic in the PDA makes it easier for people who want to follow along because once it's in their watch lists they will always be notified whenever you add new posts.

I think the reason why some topics get moved to the PDA section or merged with an existing PDA is that the general tone of the message is negative or sad or personal. We had a long discussion about this a while ago and that is where this decision was made by Admin and the moderators.
For a while it got very morbid with all the personal tragedies and the PDA section is set up to post personal "stuff." General Chit Chat is set up for positive topics or topics that potentially affect everyone.
