Site Etiquette + Replying to Old Threads

[Bogertophis]

Thanks, I was wondering about this too. I will link to old threads, I like that idea. Would it also be good to click on the thread starters profile to see if they are still active? Or just start a new thread if its old and link it as you say?

You can include a link to an old thread if you like- if you feel it's relevant to your topic- I see nothing wrong with that (especially if it saves you from repeating related content)- but it's optional.

Usually it's best to just start a new thread, & as I said, we're trying to get away from razzing those who post on old threads, but it's bound to raise a few smirks when a new member answers a question posed years ago & the one who asked is long-gone.
