Yes, could do that, already have those details bar the UTC etc. Just feels like as there is already automation around the closing of topics, that if they have been pinned or set as a banner, an option to unpin/remove banner would make sense too. Bit of a cleaner/tidier experience for the users not still seeing things which are no longer valid (fully appreciating I could just stay up and remove it when it expires). I tend to also make the posts which are for banners unlisted, e.g. its just an announcement that we want to show across the top of the screen, not necessarily as a specific topic in the list, which gets shuffled down through the “Latest Topics” view really quickly anyway. Can only set it as a banner if it is listed though, so harder to set a banner without displaying the topic (briefly) first. Again, maybe just the way I’m using it but thought I’d mention it. Thanks as always for the responses 🙂 --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/can-a-banner-be-removed-automatically-at-a-specific-time/61838)._
