I'll do it, because I often use the search function! And I love when an old thread of mine is commented on! I think it's great. If QB didn't like it that way, they would lock the thread after a certain amount of time!

And like the previous poster commented, if QB cared, they'd lock old threads. I'm sure they don't. It keeps our archives a vast storage of ideas. |
Comments are great on older threads, but if you have a specific question, I would send a PM because the original poster may not even know that the post has resurfaced.

Another thought on old threads .... actually on all threads!
READ them right thru to the end. Often times, as posts are made, the questions are answered, or the original intention of the thread takes a complete turn. Prime Examples ... what is the name of the pattern? do you have a link to it? How many times has those questions been answered and yet it is repeatedly asked? |
Everyone has helped so much on my question! Now I shall search, read and comment! Thank you everyone!! :)

I also appreciate comments on my threads, even if they are old. As you probably have noticed, we are getting new members every day, and to them, all the posts are "new". I usually check my profile every week or so for new posts to threads I have started and I always try to answer questions when asked, no matter how old a thread is.

I think it is good to post to older posts, doesn't bother me-brings back that post as a reminder or to others who hasn't seen it. All good I think.

I love getting notifications to old threads I'VE posted, as well as threads I've commented on. Sometimes they regarded a project I wanted to do and forgot about, or sometimes I still have issues with something and love new ideas. and -- if it's a compliment on something I've made it's never too late to receive that! :thumbup: So in my opinion post away! If you want to ask some individual in the thread something it's best to PM them as they may have unsubscribed from that thread or may no longer be a member of QB. I like the idea here to give them a link to the thread you are PM'ing about.

I will only post on an old thread if I think what I am posting is valueable enough to the community to bump the thread back to the top.
Comments that are less important to the community as a whole, I don't bother with if a signifigant amount of time has past. |
