Pruning Options

[jfmakis]

The board has an option to Prune topics that haven't had a reply for X Days but is it possible to develop something via the board or an app, that prunes topics that haven't been viewed for X Days instead ?

Sadly some important topics have been locked to prevent posts and these would be missed if they are removed.

I don't remember any default option to prune topics with no reply after X days. Are you using some kind of modification perhaps?

It could be updated to support also a last viewed date. Or you can have a completely new one made since the software doesn't store a topic's last view date in the first place. You'd also need to account for that in the code.

Apologies for the confusion I may have caused. There is a pruning option in the Member Setting> Profiles>Profile Setting> Conversations> Prune conversations with no reply

Not entirely sure if this is PM settings or responses to topics. Perhaps someone can assist please.

That setting is for PMs (called Conversations).

Thanks Randy. So this deletes conversations that haven't had a response at all or those that haven't had a response for a period?

It basically looks on the last message in the conversation and says has it been more than X days since the last new one was posted. So if it was never replied to, it would use the start date since it was the date of the last message in the conversation.
