Resurrection of Old Discussions

Has anybody managed to work out why old or even very old discussions suddenly reappear and because most contributors don't notice the original date new but often no longer relevant comments are made because of the time lag.

My own theory is that a new discussion has been started with the same title and the system cannot differentiate between the two and thus the problems start. I have tried to test this by searching to find duplicates even using different search engines but to no avail.

I know it's only another minor issue but I am sure some of you find it just as frustrating as me.

Doesn't bother me as I'm quite use to the oddness of this Forum, besides it adds for more postings. Even if it is the same old thing it helps keep the Forum from stagnating into a deathly silence.

I think sometimes an old post gets liked on latest activity and then the next person joins in without noticing the date is old.

probably be better if the date was highlighted in a different colour like the

Quote | Report | Like

instead of quite a pale faded look.

Don’t suggest complicating matters further, LL. The system's barely coping now. The date's no big deal really.

They’re a bit like old b&w films. I wonder if we'll see a rerun of Sunday Departures..... surprised

Wasn't there a remake based on the original. Don't think there were any  of the original stars however!  wink
