Display Thread cutoff date

[Berry]

So I know that JCink and IF have a feature like this. Is there a way to make a board on a forum so that it will only display threads that are x many days old or younger? Like, it won't show any posts made in a board that are older than 10 days for example.

Hi.

Currently that is not possible. However, to clarify. Is that display topics older than, or posts within topics [so you open a topic and it will not display all the posts]?

[Berry]

It's not the posts, it's the threads.

I have an advertising board that I try to keep clean of any thread - ad, basically - older than 30 days, so I was just looking for a way to hide those from being viewed so I only had to do it once a week instead of every day.

On forums i have seen which has what i believe you are asking for, there is a link to show older threads. This is essentially what the pages do, is it not? hides the older topics from initial view.

I am just trying to understand the feature you are asking for, and the functionality needed

[Berry]

Well that hides them from initial view, yes. I just know that - for example - on JC you can set a thread cut-off date, and any thread older than x-many days isn't viewable to anyone other than staff.

[Craig]

Ok, that makes more sense, that it is hidden to all but staff.

I would actually like that myself, an archive kind of feature, which locks and hides all threads older than X amount of days. I have mentioned it myself a couple of times. I will mark this as a feature request, and hopefully one of the admins will post their thoughts

Thanks Craig
