Auto closing threads

[jt999]

Hi all,

We have a feature which auto closes threads after 180 days. It's not new (I implemented it before the site went live) but I thought it would be good to give a bit more detail of it.

This is only active in the following sections:

Technical Help (Tutorials are excluded from this)
Classified Ads
Meets & Events

Any thread in those sections will automatically close 181 days after creation to stop old thread bumps by new users. If you have a reason a thread needs to be kept open please PM me (include a link to the thread) and I can exclude it from this until you are OK for it to be closed - this isn't here to hinder you so I'm happy to exclude any thread you wish if there is a reason it should be open.

Might be an idea to exclude the Tutorial threads from auto-closing in the Technical Help section if they're not already.

[jt999]

Tutorials are already excluded, forgot to mention that

maybe exclude national shows?

these threads sometimes go up pretty early

[jt999]

They can be done when needed, 180 days is 6 months - I can't see them going up that early?
