MyBB Version: MyBB 1.8.7
PHP Version: 5.5.9-1ubuntu4.19
SQL Engine: MySQLi 5.6.19
Browser: Chrome 54.0.2840.98


Steps to reproduce

1. Go to /modcp.php?action=banning and click 'Ban a User'
   
   
2. Find a user, enter a reason and set a date/time for 'Lift Ban After'
   
   
3. Submit the form and wait the specified amount of time.
   
   
4. Observe the user ban not auto-lifting
   

I suggest upgrading to 1.8.8

How long are you giving the ban to lift? The task system which does "Half-hourly User Cleanup" task might of not had a chance to run yet.

Thanks, this was the issue in the end. I was giving it 5-10 minutes to clear out the bans. I just ran the task manually and it lifted the ban as expected.
