Old threads

I am right handed but if I am flicking through a magazine I do it with my left thumb, from the back to the front, because that shows me the righthand pages, which is where they put the most interesting things.

That's what I need to do jacky. I tend to read the OP then get caught up in the posts and don't realise till later on how out of date everything is.

I read magazines backwards because I'm right handed.

When reading a thread the first thing I look at is the date.

I read magazines backwards , am left handed

I read a magazine backwards, and am left handed. Do everything left handed, Set the table cutlery, tie bows etc My long suffering husband is used to it now.

Jalima1108 I do exactly the same. Always read a magazine backwards. Are you left handed?

That's OK!

Sorry gone cross eyed jalima not jamila

My mother had those Doodle
(and I believed her)

I think that most of the old resurrected threads are revived by 'cold callers' ie spam.

I remember the zombie warning " do you mean to resurrect this thread" or words similar but I haven't seen it for yonks, in fact I had forgotten it.

Another magazine reader here who reads from back to front....we should start a club, thought it was just me!
Although I don’t read threads backwards.
Doodle yes, it’s annoying isn’t it, to find you are reading an old thread, what usually alerts me to that are the posters usernames ( who aren’t on GN now.)

You need eyes in the back of your head jalima

I don't walk backwards as I would fall over.
I sometimes fall over when walking forwards too.

I always read threads and magazines backwards.

I wonder if there is treatment available for the likes of us.

I always choose ‘last day’ so only look at threads which have had a recent post. Sometimes I realize the original post was from ages back, but someone has chanced on it and decided to reply. Occasionally this can lead to the revival of an interesting topic. Best to look at date of original post though.

Good idea jalima. I always read magazines backwards, never thought of doing it on threads.

I tend to look at the last post first then check.

Is it me? Sometimes I read a magazine backwards too.

I seem to remember something like a “zombie” warning?
Does this still exist?
Frustrating for you.
