When he submits that thread, it will submit the amount the thread starter specifed into a new feild in the post table in the database, then you would have to add a query to check that feild when someone goes to reply.

Basicly when someone goes and clicks on reply, the query will check the database to see if the thread has expired, and goes from there. If i have the time i might be able to do this, but im going to be moving to a new home next weekend, so im trying to finish up some clients before i go with no DSL for a couple of days.

As ChurchMedia mentioned it would be great to apply to classifieds (threads where people can?t reply). Looking forward to the next step
