Clean-up possibly unintended consequence

As long as you don't close the Cartoons and Meme's topic, I think we should be ok with closing the old lounge topics... but I guess we'll see....

LOL, the cars and the cartoons threads have been manually de-selected to avoid closure :wink:

Another that is long term active, both geeky fun and useful for folks wanting to improve or modify their wi-fi network alongside HE.

I've been doing some playing with Node Red and I've noticed while searching for info, that threads seem to auto-close after 2 months of inactivity.
For future clean-ups, wouldn't this be the way to go? :man_shrugging:
Certainly be less work for you @bobbyD :slight_smile:

It has been set for most categories to auto-close after 1 year of inactivity, however the change cannot be applied retroactively, that's how the clean-up project started.

Does feel like there may be a place for those popular topics about networks of various forms.... Not to say there isn't a place already... Perhaps the more popular ones should, over time, be moved to an appropriate category, either existing or new...

Well, you've got a good point, there. Much of the success running Hubitat Elevation comes from well designed network. So there you have it: Local Network - Hubitat

Another unintended consequence:

When Bobby spends time cleaning up I get the notices and it looks I am being targeted because they are either my threads or threads I have been posting in and it hurts my feelings.

Then I realized I only get notifications on those threads for that reason. Presumably, other people are getting other notifications on their threads.

Or ....

I've found that weird... Others have commented about receiving notifications... but I haven't seen any for my posts that have been closed.... Not complaining.... obviously....

Thanks for hanging in there. I am wrapping up the clean up today with a big push, then things will go back to normal. Some users may need to clear hundreds of "unread" notifications.

Not exactly a notification but it shows up flagged as "new" but when I check, the "new" is really

I don't see those as a notification alongside my avatar, in the same way I would see a response or mention on a current topic, like you have just made. if these are tucked away somewhere else that I don't see, doesn't bother me...

Protip: When you see Bobby's picture and a lock symbol on a bunch of posts listed as "suggested topics" with old dates just move on.
