Open/post threads automatically

[optrex]

I've noticed IPB has a feature where an admin can make a post to a thread, close it, then have it automatically open at a certain time, thus allowing others to post or see the thread.

This feature would be very very useful for my board, particularly if a post/thread could be "hidden" until a certain time.

Anyone any ideas?

Is it possible someone could look into this please?

Would this feature be available to modify now 3.6.1 is out?

Basically admin (or even user, but perhaps admin can see queue) makes a post or starts a new thread that remains hidden until the time specified.
