Old threads

There’s been an irritating resurgence of old threads, often revived by spammers and the whole saga starts over again often 5 or more years down the road.
Please, please check the date of an Original Post, or skim down if it looks to be an old one to see if it has genuinely been revived to good purpose.
It can be frustrating for OP if the circumstances under which they started a thread have changed, distressing even if illness or death has featured and it’s such a waste of your breath to offer advice when a problem must have either got better or worse or just gone away long ago.
So check the date at the top and perhaps think twice ?

I didn’t forget Lucca and Phoenix, but didn’t want to upset anyone by mentioning them.

Glad that they have been added though.

I don’t know how they find these threads if I search fir one for genuine reasons I just get a cow that tells me it’s mooooved and back I have to go to the current threads
Anyone tell me how or is it only me ?

If you come across the ‘it’s mooved’ notice, you can still see the thread if you click on it.

That’s odd.

Next time I see a ‘It’s moooved’, I will test it out.

I think if its still relevant there's no harm in it. If you don't want to post it isn't a problem.
