I just can’t find or recall how I did this earlier… The category setting Auto-close topic after:: how do I disable it? Now it allows change time ranges only.

Category settings > Moderation > Set the below to blank or 0. [image] Once done, you can save from there.

That was it. Thanks. Not too intuitive way, though — or I’m too limited :winking_face_with_tongue:

You are not alone. It was moved recently to the ‘Moderation’ category settings tab; I had my time trying to find it on the ‘Settings’ one.

Desativar o fechamento automático de tópicos?
