Bug with Expiry Date Field
There seems to be a bug with the expiry date field, where if you initially set the expiry date to be some date in the future (i.e. whenever the deal ends), then come back to the thread AFTER that date to mark it as dead/modify the post or title, the forum does not allow you to save those changes without updating the expiry date to today or some date in the future. This does not make sense, since the original expiry date that was specified was in fact valid (with the understanding that now it is in the past). For posts that are just being updated, there shouldn't be a validation check on the expiry date field if the field was already populated in the first place. An example thread where I just experienced this is:

I just came back to update the title to mark it as dead and had to update the expiry date to today, even though the expiry date was yesterday (I knew this and populated that field when I posted).
