Is It Just Me, Or Are You Guys Doing Double Takes Too

[way2fractious]

Is there some way that, when we are reading through old threads and start a reply without noticing, that a pop-up could say something like

"This thread was started 2 years ago. Do you really want to reply to it?"

I think it's great to have threads resurrected on occasion. First, because I may not have read them before, joining a couple years after this forum got off the ground. Second, if any newbie (myself included) thinks the topic warrants a reply, that confirms the ongoing relevance of the topic. (Certain recent thread-resuscitating pranks excluded )

Of late, I decline to join in discussions because my thoughts are posted on earlier threads treating the same subject. So, which is better, falling off the discussions (and maybe the forum) because it's all been hashed out before, or continually starting new threads for old topics?

Turpin's idea for a "flag" is a good one, however.

Okay...then there should be one big long thread about:

"Will the 24" length kilts fit me...?"

"Can I wear my sghian dhub in public...?"

"Should I be going regimental...?"

"I'm planning to wear a kilt to my prom...can someone advise me...?"

There's threads that resurface...God knoweth why...I expect that some newbie stumbles across them while doing a search and feels the need to add a comment. There are those topics that seem to pop up in a new thread every week or so. I'm just guessing that it's the nature of a web forum that this stuff is going to happen.
