Zombie Threads

Just a suggestion.....
I'm seeing a lot of (usually) newer members responding to threads that are up to ten years old. Often they don't quite seem to understand it's not an active thread. I'm guessing this is partly related to the recommended threads feature at the end of each thread. Can that feature be set to time constraints, or can the "this thread is super duper old, are you sure you want to post" warning be restored?

It's a good suggestion! I've seen a few old threads bumped too. If the new post is relevant to the topic (model numbers of older items etc) it could be ok. If it's a personal reveal from ten years ago perhaps it's less useful.

yes please! It has been happening since the change over but has become more frequent lately.

Yes, but this forum is so confusing to new members

Yes, this feature was useful on the old platform and I'll see if there's a way to reintegrate it into Xenforo!

I am working on a comprehensive how-to to make the navigation and interaction here a little bit more streamlined.
