Is there a way to mass close threads by date of last post similar to mass prune?

Not really. Probably can do it with a SQL query. Haven't Looked.chris99z71 said:
There is a way, actually.
1. First make sure you're sorting by "Last Post". You can either sort ascending, or go to the "Last" page in the list. Regardless, you should be looking at the list of oldest threads.
2. Now click the
arrow just above all the check boxes (far right column), and select "Select All" from the menu.
3. Down at the bottom of the page, under "Moderation", select "Close threads" and click on GO.
4. Before you close all those threads, double check to make sure they're all >30 days. If any are newer, uncheck those before clicking the GO button.
5. Now just move on to the next page in the list, and keep going through steps 2-4 until done.

Chris,
This is not really a mass closing, but when I did my forums I started at the last page of threads, clicked on the down arrow at the upper right above the check box and chose "Select All" from the drop down menu. Then went to the bottom of the page and selected "Close Thread" from the drop down menu. Be careful because the default for the moderation menu is "Delete Thread" and you don't want to do that.

If you guys want to wait a bit, I can probably do it by SQL query, but I have to figure out how they using particular field. It looks like it is a 3 state field instead of the 2 state I expected. If I can figure it out, then I'll probably be able to creat chon job to do it automatically
