We've got a particular post that we need to un-publish for a while but we can't find an option to do this?

Cheers

Dave

Hi Dave - there's no way currently to hide a single post in the forum - you would just need to delete it and re-create it in the future.

Hey Dave, do you by any chance mean a thread or discussion in your forum, rather than a single post in a discussion? Just wondering, because if you actually meant a whole forum discussion, you could do it by using 'change owner'.
I'm also wondering because you used the word "un-publish" which made me think that maybe you are referring to a Blog post, not a forum post.
Just checking.

Using the Change Owner tool would just change ownership of the topic - it wouldn't remove it.

However, with the soon to be released Group and Forum tools module you could transfer the topic to a private group, and then move it back again once you wanted to "republish" it.

I was thinking you could change it to be owned by a special profile you make that is 'inactive'- so only Admins could see any content owned by that profile. Once you wanted the topic showing again, you could return it to its original 'active' owner.

Hey those new tools sound good. :)

Many Thanks Guys for your ideas.

We're going to delete the post ( in the forum) and increase the time to clear the Recycle Bin to 60 Days so it can be recovered at a later date.

Cheers

Dave
