Excellent Mod i was looking for this few days back :D

Its very handy for weekly contest i don't want to check contests every week new round of contests will be opened default.

Hi BirdOPrey5, My idea: mod can make auto up for random threads

I don't understand... Auto up random threads? This mod creates a thread at a specific time- it would make no sense for it to be random- anything else would be outside the scope of this mod completely.

Can {Date} be used in the thread title, so as to clearly distinguish each new weeks thread from the previous?
If not, can you add a "date" option?
Can you add options for frequency; Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly?

The {DATE} idea is something I can put in the next release, but no idea when it may be. Frankly, it may be a while, this isn't really a mod with much demand.

The frequency is chosen in the scheduled task manager- you can change it from once every 10 minutes to once a month, with a lot of possibilities in between.

Quarterly will likely not be an option because it is not an option for a scheduled task and to add such an option would mean requiring the mod to alter the database- nothing this simple mod was even intended to do.

Thanks, Joe.
A y/n option to suffix the title with the date would be greatly appreciated (from my perspective), and I think prove to be a valuable feature for this mod.

For now, I'll keep this mod tagged... if I was to use it, I'd have to edit the newly posted thread title to include the date, so may as well just start the new thread myself.

Our site runs a "Weekend Update" thread for members to post brief notes about progress on their various projects... it helps keep a community feel to our site.
If someone comments on a post to an previous weeks thread, it would not be immediately obvious which is the current weeks thread if a date suffix in the title is not present.

Thanks for your efforts... this is a great little mod, and I'm surprised that it is not used by more.

Decided to make that {DATE} fix today... New version released 1.2- now you can use {DATE} in the title or body of the post. It will use the forum date format by default or you can specify a custom date format in the mod settings.

Thank you very much, Joe.
Your time is appreciated.

[Edit] Installed and working fine on 4.1.10... thanks again.

Simple and yet a great one..

Thanks for sharing

I know you want it to be so simple, but if you ever wanna expand on it, here's something you might wanna consider adding.
An option to create a new thread or update an existing thread (adding post).. Just a thought

Thanks again

This is a great initiative.

But i think the scope/usefulness of this mod is restricted due to ablity to post the same conted over n over

It would be really helpful for me and many other member if we can have the ability to add/schedule new threads in que. ( having the ability to control the title, content , forum, user, and timing on individual thread basis)

Like i have an education related community. just wanted to schedule some threads that need to be posted in the coming week ( as i would have to login the forum for the next 10 days and starts a new thread exactly at 2:00pm ( the time when the examination ends)

Would really love the ability to add these 10 post in que n they are added over the next week. ( this could be super handy for new communities also IMO, adding new content regularly )

I am even willing to pay upto $25 for it.
