758009 2009-03-20 03:55:00 We now have the ability to auto-close threads a specific time after the last post was made. Many thanks to Chill who installed the plugin today and Jan who gave us permission to do so. :thumbs:

So ... how long do you think a thread should stay open for until auto-closed?

Note, this setting will affect both forum's threads.

758012 2009-03-20 04:10:00 Hmm ... my attempt to have the one thread/poll displayed in both forums at the same time didn't work as intended. I've moved everything into this one thread instead.

If you had cast a vote in the last 5 mins, please check it is recorded. Ta.

758013 2009-03-20 04:13:00 I think 2 months is more than enough time :thumb: davidmmac (4619)
758014 2009-03-20 04:14:00 Is there an option to allow the original thread starter to reopen the thread? somebody (208)
758015 2009-03-20 04:15:00 Is there an option to allow the original thread starter to reopen the thread?No, you would have to PM a Mod to have it opened again. Jen (38)
758016 2009-03-20 04:38:00 The question raises a bit of a problem - some few threads should never be closed, others should never have been opened. Sorting out which is which may cause discussion ;)
(If the time to close comes from the forum clock, history says the whole thing may offer an alternative to Lotto for random number generation)

Ads should self destruct after a second or two thereby offering a challenge to dedicated adwatchers.
