Thread dredges?

**boman** · 17th February 2014, 20:11

Is there a way for someone to mark posts, that are older than say 12 months, in a different colour? Perhaps the title?

It would stop some of us from supplying information on a thread that can be 3-4 years old.

There is a newer element here that dredges posts up regularly, sometimes with no useful information at all.

Sometimes the dredge is relevant, but this seems to be a minority.

Read those little serial numbers at the top of the post (looks like 10-5-2005).

Gives it away a bit.

I'd rather see a few thread dredges than nubies asking the same old questions again, and again, and again...

Bump.

Setting a reminder to myself to dredge this thread next year. For irony sake.

And how often do you read the full details of when a thread was started?

This is true. But a different colour in the title, may highlight the fact that the thread is older.

Just cause you get older you shouldnt be forgotten

Why does it matter if a thread gets dredged?

Gives us new people here a chance to catch up on some interesting reads we might have missed otherwise.

Anyway, I think there should be a list of epic kb threads somewhere. The fast, smooth and safe one should be in there, too.

Sometimes you just can't win. Ask a question via a new thread and you get told ''use the search function''. Use the search function and reply to a thread that was started two years ago and you get told ''holy thread dredge batman''
Me personally, I don't give a shit, I will start a thread for my own benefit, easier to look back on when ever you need to.
