Resurrection of old threads.........

[Zeuk in Oz]

Is there any way we can stop the resurrection of old threads - say > 4 months old ?

It obviously shows that novices are searching, however I find it annoying to have to trawl through stuff I read 6 month ago.

If anyone wants to show an old thread in a new thread, they can always create a link.

Just a thought.

I'd rather see people searching than trolling through empty threads asking same questions, right?

I remember when I was trolling the last pages and replying to threads years old, got to like the 18th page from the beginning and got bored. People were responding and answering things and no one realized they were years old... I was laughing..lol

I do this accidentally. I seem to forget the date above the post reads 2004. Silly me.

that is kind of annoying. maybe the post headings in the thread could be a different color if they are more than a certain age?

This sounds like a better solution, or just add a banner or red dates on old threads. If I search and find a year old thread that applies to my problem I'll bring it to the top. That way the same crap isn't posted twice, everyone can see what was already discussed and respond accordingly.

i dont see a problem with it as long as its a bona fide question query reason to bring it up again.....
