I would be willing to look at this gratis if you want. It shouldn’t be too difficult to add this feature to the thread view.

Yeah. I’d assume it’s just finding the right spot in the forum view template and throwing get_the_date and the_time on it (or whatever custom calls bbpress uses). Unless there’s already a setting for it in the admin view that’s just waiting to be enabled.

As for Peter’s suggestion, I’d say there could be more like a good post guideline in the deals forum. So if an end date is known, it could be added to the post title.

Generally I’d be quite conservative with adding more plugins/moving parts. Shape the ones to one’s will that are already in place and go calmly from there if/as/when necessary. WordPress can get occasionally quite choppy and pain to admin if hacks/plugins stop playing together for whatever reason.

I concur. You should not need a plugin to do something this simple. Before adding a plugin or modifying code, I would look at the settings for bbPress to see if there was an option available for this feature.

This would be a clever signature if I could think of one.
