Where is the Expired button?

203846930

For boards like the Competitions and Food & Grocery there used to be an 'expired' button but now I can't seem to find it and yet on both boards threads seem to get moved to their relative expired sections pretty quickly, sometimes too quickly from what I saw last evening.
Where is the expired button?

Yet another essential button missed off when designing the new forum

I had wondered if it was only visible to certain members such as the board guides.

Maybe as the forum seems to be slowly dying it would be good to gave an overall 'expired' button .... 😉

What was the Expired button? (I've never been to the comps board, so I've no idea if it was specific to that board).

 a button to let the moderators know the competition had ended and they could move the post off the board To game over board 

 think there was similar in the freebies and voucher boards

Bumping this cos it's still not there.
After the new forum was foisted upon us, I gave up dropping in for a while because so much was missing or not working (i.e. most of it). I'm pleased to see that some progress seems to have been made. But I've noticed on the main competitions board that the tick and cross aren't working for some, and when I checked, it seems to be because the competition has expired. The expired button used to remove it from the main board to an expired board. So I believe that it's an essential ... thing. 
If there is already a ticket out for this, then please do ignore me. But just in case there isn't, then please don't ignore me!

@spendaholic The tick and cross buttons stop working when a thread is "closed"
All threads become "closed" at 11:59 on the day set in the mandatory Closing Date field, which is set when creating the post but is not visible to anyone other than the OP.
All of the "closed" threads will be sorted together by a BG (using the "Sort New/Filter All Statuses" buttons) at some point early the next day and then moved to Game Over.
Apart from this short period between being "closed" and being moved to GO, there should not be any time when the tick and cross buttons are not working.

Many thanks for taking the time to explain this. Very much appreciated. I must be catching it in that small window! ;-) 
I also noticed quite a bit later that it's out on the list of things still to be done on the comps petition/feedback list. So apologies again for pushing it here. :-)
