Conversations: Hide setting is removed when the Show date/time passes

Thanks I just figured teachers would have “special” powers. I think there are more pressing issues, so I’ll skip creating a feature request now since, as you stated, instructors can easily work around it.

I don’t have a problem adding this as a feature request, but I’m not sure how common it would be for an instructor to post something after the lock date. Usually a topic is locked in order to prevent all users from posting to it, but I could see where an instructor might want to post a closing message upon locking. However, since the instructor can easily unlock it to post, there is fairly simple workaround.

Adding QA notes:

Tested deviations and I think a feature request is needed to allow the instructor to post/reply after the lock date, especially if there is no hide date. do you have any thoughts on this?
