Topic timer (without topic closure)

Contribute Feature
3

Here’s an example:

  1. I create a new topic, asking people to respond to a question by a certain date.
  2. To help with time differences between countries, I add a topic timer so forum members can see the countdown.
  3. When the topic timer has counted down, it closes the topic.
  4. I don’t really want the topic to be closed, so I manually re-open the topic so conversation can continue.

My request is to allow a topic timer, which counts down, but without topic closure… or to let me know if this is already possible?
