Hi, I would like to know how can I have moderation delay on newthread plugin.


What I need

I have a forum about promotions, when I create a new thread I add title, description and "expiration date" (now I'm using threadfields with xthreads, I use it only to filter post per month of expiration).
When the promotion expires, I move manually the post to another forum (forum only for expiration threads).

I would like it more "automatic": moderation delay (expiration date) to move automatically post on the date:


- Delayed moderation on newthread template (user chooses date of expiration);

- Automatically the thread, on the date, is moved from forum A to forum B ( = forum only for expiration threads);

- On postbit is showed expiration date.


I know it's almost impossible but maybe someone can give me advice on how to proceed. I know almost zero PHP language and Plugin system, but calmly and with the right advice maybe I can do it.

On Vbullettin maybe there's a feature similar (I think..or admins move still post manually Big Grin ), user can add expiration date and post is moved automatically.

Thank you in advance to those who can help me
