Art Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 It appears that the specific opening times and perhaps the closing times does not work. If it could be made to work, I'd appreciate it. It would make staging things like PCI much easier. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akdrv Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 I tested it out and it worked. I put in both opening and closing times in 24hr format. Whatever the server thinks is your current time is listed at the bottom of the page. Time is now: 14th January 2010 - 08:43 PM I set open time to 20:45 close time to 20:50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However folks were in the threads and posting comments and such way before the open times. I opened each of the PCI Group 1 & 8 voting threads at 01/14/2010 06:30 and closed them at 01/19/2010 15:30. It's hard for me to tell what might be going on because I have access to them no matter what. But the threads were not displayed with the lock showing and folks were voting and such within minutes of my posting the first thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use your sockpuppets to see what the "normal person" sees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted January 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Use your sockpuppets to see what the "normal person" sees sockpuppets? What are sockpuppets? Is that part of the TCP/IP protocol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akdrv Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Even with your access level you will see a topic as "Closed" if you set opening time in the future. Try setting opening date to the next day to see if it works in general. It may be time difference between your local time and server time. Server should be on GMT, but it worked for me using local time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I set each with open on 1/14/2010 at 06:30 so even gmt should have locked the thread. tdp was posting in one of the threads before I even finished the third one. I'm not saying that it's the system. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Did you do an edit on any of the voting threads? You can see the parameters that I set and the time I posted.

akdrv Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 It could be some settings in the SuperMod group. I just made some changes. Please try again post opening in a few days in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
