Thanks for the response. Been a while since I remembered making this post and came to check. 😄 To answer, no. You can only delay a post lock by editing the opening post or when making a new thread. You can't do it on a reply or by using the moderator action button, because you don't get the full administrative/moderator options on a reply to a thread. I don't want to do that (mostly because the main type of deal I want to use a delay lock are news articles with a forum thread that generate automatically from a database entry and I really don't want to mess with these automatic OP posts. I want to make a post in a thread and be able to set a delay lock, with a notification in the new post (although a notification isn't quite necessary as I could just say "it will lock in xyz minutes"). Also, it wouldn't help if they try to post a reply after the lock has gone through, so I would want to add some kind of post-lock attempt to post page that gives a person the opportunity to save their post or copy it. Sort of like how if you try to edit a wikipedia page, but someone else has pushed an edit to the page before you, it gives you an edit conflict page with a copy of what you tried to post. And/Alternatively, there could be an option somewhere to simply allow posts to be made by anyone with permissions, within a certain amount of time of a post being locked. Thanks. Notes: Lock options for a new thread or editing OP: What shows when using the "Lock Thread" option in a thread:

While you can combine a 'word search' AND by member in a topic search, you can't simply search for all posts by a specific member in a topic. Please add this functionality to the product. Note: Please don't suggest paid mods that can do this. All that proves is that it is possible, and should be added to the software I already pay a lot of money to use. Thank you.

Idea - The ability to set a delayed lock of a post, with a notification to people in the thread or currently typing that it will lock in # number of minutes/hours. Another issue, that people who are posting or have posted before a thread gets locked, that they will completely lose whatever they typed when that happens. There should be a 'sandbox' or a window in a thread that keeps content despite the thread being locked for a certain amount of time to enable people to repost it in another thread.

How?

So one issue I have is that I occasional have to lock a thread, while people may still be about to post in it, unfortunately those posts can become lost if they happen to try to post or refresh the page after it's been locked. I would appreciate an option to allow certain groups to still make a post X minutes after a topic has been locked.

I should clarify that I mean it did happen with google ad code on my site (and not the announcement block like the OP) in case anyone else had the same problem but didn't have an announcement block. I'm not blaming Invision for breaking things that aren't anything to do with Invision's code/updates.

Note this can also happen due to google ad code, so you might need to check & update whatever code you're using from google and/or change it to a google responsive ad code instead.

I've got the same issue but I'm on a self hosted.

Can we get an option for each sub-forum to show more than 25 topics per page. I have a couple of sub-forums where I'd like to increase it to say 50 per page while keeping it normal on the rest.

Is this in addition to regular google ads or as a complete replacement?

Does this replicate the old "Promote to article" functions of 3x? I have a database. They create forum threads. In 3x I would then promote the forum thread to an article. The comments were the same, in effect all three were linked. The "Copy to Database" doesn't work like that, it makes a separate article to the forum topic. Very messy.
