    Has anyone noticed that the "Related Discussions" feature seems to show threads that are years old, many of which the folks who started them are no longer here or don't even participate in the forums anymore? Are we supposed to resurrect these old threads?

    It seems a rather useless feature that is just taking up space on the page.

      I noticed the same thing, I agree with you, if this is not a bug it look like a useless feature

      I've noticed the same thing. Not only are some of the Hubbers gone, but many of the discussions are obsolete and useless. Some might even be misleading to newbies.

        While the idea may not be a bad one, perhaps they can put a time limit on what will appear there, maybe 3-6 months, tops.

          I agree. A 3 to 6 month cutoff would eliminate a lot of the obsolete threads.

    Indeed, we don't need any more necro-threads

      By resurrecting those threads, are we practicing necromancy or necrophilia?

        I am so proud of you... taking part in "regular" discussions. You are developing into quite the social butterfly. smile

          Patronize: treat with an apparent kindness that betrays a feeling of superiority. smile
