It's funny to see people asking a specific question in 2008 and still getting answers 3 or 4 years after

As a general rule, I do on any forum. Many folks don't know how to use Web forums, though. They've only been popular for about 20 years. LOL!

<p>Usually after the second page of answers I'll realize the thread is old and look at the date. Then go to the last page to figure out why an 8 year old thread has been brought back to life.</p><p>But don't forget to bash the guy for using the search function and dredging&nbsp;up an old thread!<img alt="Icon Fryingpan" src="https://www.hdforums.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_fryingpan.gif" style="height:25px; width:40px" title="Icon Fryingpan" /></p>

When a member uses the search function and comes up with a older thread,it should be for his eyes only because who else really cares.JMHO

Yes. And I usually comment on how it's a nice thread revival.
