TCWT Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Would be nice to have a way to schedule a new topic to be created at a certain date and time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecowgoesmoo207 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I'd love to see this. It'd be very nifty if you were going to be away and wanted to get ahead on your content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCWT Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 isnt this a feature already?That's only to specify topic open/close time, not "creation" ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C_ind Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 How would this work more specifically? How would you define the content of the new topic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr4maTor Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 i need this ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antony Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Most boards wouldn't need this functionality, so I'd suggest it should be a modification. It could be easily implemented without any manual file edits via the components system and the task manager. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCWT Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 How would this work more specifically? How would you define the content of the new topic?It could be used in many cases: surprises, announcements, birthdays, you name it.Most boards wouldn't need this functionality, so I'd suggest it should be a modification. It could be easily implemented without any manual file edits via the components system and the task manager. :)Many functions aren't needed and are not modifications. Well, there is already a feature to schedule topic open/close time so this just complements and improve it on that end. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Elliott Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 I always thought that was what the topic open/closed thing was all about, until I tried scheduling an announcement to go live at a specific date and time, only to be disappointed, even if it just marked the post as invisible until a given date/time, would go a long way to achieving the OP's goal.

My Controls > Manage Announcements. When you're making one you can set up a start/end time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCWT Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I really hope this made it into 3.0. It's a convenient feature for my forums. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
