Shadow Topics
There is no longer a place you can choose how long your shadow topic is viewable...just a box asking if you want one or not.

Re: Shadow Topics
To clarify, that was just a mod that was applicable with the former version. It is no longer supported for this latest version of phpbb and so far no one has made an updated version of it. If you must leave a shadow topic, then you will also have to manually remove it after a certain time from the MCP of that forum.
Re: Shadow Topics
Yes it is mod stuff when we move a topic we can leave a copy where we moved it from the shadow. I believe what is broken is you could set a time for the shadow to expire say 24 hours or a week and it would auto delete.
Not 100% sure as normally when I move stuff I don't leave shadows around

Okay, thanks for explaining! I didn't realize we COULD manually remove them, good to know.king achilles wrote: Tue Mar 10, 2026 6:07 pm To clarify, that was just a mod that was applicable with the former version.
