Hi guys, I am good with joomla/oscommerce and a few other online scripts but not so good on Forums. I need to install/create a forum. I would like the forum to be able to do the following. The moderator/administrator can create a "time delayed topic". Every day a new topic will need to be created/posted. Its better if we can simply enter these in bulk every month for the next month ahead and they "auto publish" themselves allowing users to discuss the days post. Permission management for this particular forum will be only the mod/admin can create topics, but all registered user can post replies. A few years ago I ran PHPBB V2 something and had issues with spam, I understand this is better managed with phpbb3 but want someone to confirm for me if its ok to use? Ideally I would like to have another forum category where users can create a topic (only 1 topic per user) and only that user can post replies to their topic. Ideally I can wrap this forum in joomla 1.5 - I believe this limits me to smf of phpbb3 with smf needing the forum to be run on mysqli which I dont have. I cant seem to google up any info on what I am trying to achieve. Preferably I dont want to use Vbulletin as I am on a budget.
Mybb has timed announcements that can have start or end dates. The plugin system of mybb is excellent and you could probably create a plugin for this to also apply for posts.
