AMS Module - How is date/time of expiration used?

The AMS module allows you to set the date/time of expiration when you create a new article. However, I have not been able to find out how this date/time gets used.

I have articles where the expiry date has been well and truly reached but I can't see where anything different has happened to any of the articles.

Once an article reaches an expiry date, it should no longer be available to the public. Check the user frontend to see if it is still listed, if it is I would suggest that your report it as a possible bug?

Setting the expiry date is done by two things.
First set the expiry date
Second don't forget to check the checkbox of the expire date

If you forget the checkbox is doesn't work.

Thanks. I had a closer look at my articles and found that the module is behaving just as you say. Expired articles are no longer displayed on the main page but are available in the Archive. In other words, an article will be "moved" to the Archive when the expiry date is reached.

Thanks for the tip, particularly about the checkbox. I thought I had set the expiry date by entering a date but it had no effect because I hadn't checked the checkbox.
