Hi. I have been using “auto close topic hours” setting to automatically close topics if they are inactive for 30 days. Now I can’t find it in the admin settings. The new posts still state they will be closed after being inactive for a month. Is it removed from settings or am I missing something?

There’s a per-category setting called `auto-close topic hours` - is that the one you’re referring to?

Yes, that is what I am looking for. I remembered that the setting was global and in the admin settings page. Thank you for reminding me!
