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

    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?
