sweetL Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Auto-Prune The principle is simple. You enable it for individual forums, and set a time limit. You might say 'My Chatty Forum' > Enabled > Delete Topics With No Replies in 60 Days Which would just keep itself tidy. Which would be brilliant. No more completely mashing up your server while you do some routine maintenance, it just keeps itself in check.Helpful Additions / Related to ThisArchive Topic The ability to mark a topic as archived. This doesnt actually lock it, make it unable to be posted on, but what it DOES do, is mean that the auto-prune, topic mass move / delete (etc) does not affect it. A thread that is 'archived' is, in effect, protected from accidental or routine deletion. It would be very, very helpful indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millar Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I like it. In much the same way, you could allow the system to close topics with no responses instead of deleting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morrigan Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 It would be nice to also force close topics regardless of replies as well. I have forums that I need to close topics after so many days after open or else the forum can get flooded with old posts bumped to the top and ones that are new get drowned out.

W13 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 If this feature was considered, I strongly suggest considering very large boards (with > 1~2 million post table rows). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetL Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 is there any way of prodding invision staff to look at a particular thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henke37 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Don't bother, they read all of these. They just don't reply to all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Matt. Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 That should be automatic, like auto delete after 60 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
