shazeroo Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Lately I have read a lot of threads that have been added to by users when the post was first started a few years ago. What they are adding to the post is all good but not any use when the op needed advice 2 years ago. just a thought - check when the first post was started before adding your bit. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Total Chaos Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Yes, but maybe any new info added to old threads, could update information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucy-Lastic Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 When you start a new thread it gives you old threads which may be similar to add to - maybe people are doing that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarmOKnee Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 You're not allowed to start a new thread if there's already a similar thread, no matter how old it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resident Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Lately I have read a lot of threads that have been added to by users when the post was first started a few years ago. What they are adding to the post is all good but not any use when the op needed advice 2 years ago. just a thought - check when the first post was started before adding your bit. :wink: Would you also complain if there were several threads about the same subject week after week ? I'd put money on it. Forum rules, well it's not really a rule more etiquette, requests that user's search the existing threads for the answers they seek prior to starting a new one, in case their query has already been answered. Yes some threads are brought back from the beyond by "trolls" who are just seeking attention. The one thing you shouldn't do in this case is feed that troll as it encourages them. Ironically this is what you've just done by starting this thread & quite possibly equally ironic of myself by replying to you as it's entirely possible that you're a troll yourself.

Mecky Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Maybe OPs don't give a thread the proper title for what the thread is about? For example, I mean the thread about eating meat on the bone, turned out quite different to what i thought the thread would be about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
