Re: Posting on old threads
I can't see any harm in a so called od thread/subject being brought back to life again by another member. So what?It isn't a big deal, and remember.
No likey, no clicky!
Anyway, an old thread can be just as relevant today, and may be something that relatively new members might be interested in.
It takes only a few seconds to realise that the thread is long standing, and so what?
Nobody is twisting anyone's arm to make anyone take any further part in the thread.
Move on to something else that floats yer boat.
Live and let live I say.

So there!
PS.
I am now going to resurrect some of my old threads.
So keep a look out for them, and thanks for the idea Orangutan!

It isn't really a good idea to resurrect old threads because some of those members taking part are no longer with us to reply if they are quoted.

So I put "moaning over50forum" into Google and what happened, threads going back six years of moaning, from old members.
Seems some things never change

Re: Posting on old threads
Once I started a thread about slow cookers . It wasn't allowed to stay because there had already been a thread about that same subject a few months previously. My thread was joined onto the old one and the old one was resurrected!I think that's what happens a lot of the times we see old threads reappear.
