It would be nice if you received a warning that a thread is “old“ before you resurrect it.
No. You are assuming a certain level of awareness on my part, and you know what happens when you assume.Vanadium 50 said:Looking at the date is not warning enough?
Revive Threads is a feature that alerts users when they are about to post on an old or inactive thread. It works by using a timestamp to determine the last time a thread was active, and if it has been a certain amount of time since then, a warning message will appear before the user can post.
Posting on old threads can be confusing for other users and can clutter up the forum with outdated information. It is important to have a warning to prevent this and encourage users to start new, relevant discussions instead.
Yes, the time limit for old threads can be adjusted by the forum administrator. This allows for flexibility depending on the specific needs of the forum and its users.
No, the warning message will only appear for threads that have been inactive for a certain amount of time. If a thread is still active, the warning will not appear and users can continue to post on it.
While it is not a universal feature, "Revive Threads" is becoming increasingly common on forums as a way to keep discussions relevant and organized. It is especially useful for larger forums with a lot of activity and threads.
