Thanks @Wilma Hodges 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.

@Andrea Schmidt 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. @Adrian Fish @Wilma Hodges do you have any thoughts on this?
Messages displayed:
After lock, but before hide:
This topic is locked and no changes can be made. Click 'Unlock' in the options menu to unlock it.Instructor - after hide date:
This topic is hidden from students. Click 'Show' in the options menu to show it.

If the instructor creates a dated topic by selecting Availability > Specify dates and selects all 3 (Show, Lock, Hide), the Show date/time and Hide date/time seem to disappear once the Show date/time has passed. The Lock date/time is kept.
