I have resurrected old posts twice now. They were directly related to the problem I had and yet the issue had not been fully resolved.
I have been on this discourse forum for over a year now.
I post on these “old” threads because I feel there is a better chance of someone helping address my problem. After all all people on the thread were genuinely interested in the problem and likely have more experience than I, to help resolve the issue.
Time should not be the factor, but whether the issue is solved as @rafael.guerra points out . Why start a new thread when an old one that is exactly on the same issue remains unresolved? At least this is not how I organize my notes.
Whenever I get reminders from posts that I am no longer interested in, I simply unsubscribe from that line of conversation.
A reminder like “This thread has been inactive for X years. Reviving this thread may not …” and for … fill in with why one would be against reviving old threads–of which I don’t see why unless subject matter is very different.
