Ppl keep reopening ancient threads, one was 10 years old.
The info in those threads must be well out of date.
Is there a way to let them be read but not added too?
If I'm the only one bothered I'll go find somewhere less confusing to hang out. I'm quite aware it might just be me that's struggling with this
Quite often, it's the spam bots that resurrect old discussions. It's sad when members then comment (perhaps offering advice), not realising that the discussion isn't recent, and was created by a member that is no longer active on the forums.
I'm aware that when discussions get heated, the mods will sometimes lock them. They are still available to be read, just that nobody can post comments. Perhaps the mods could consider doing the same with discussions that were created more than 12 months ago.

That would mean locking threads like 'Creative Space' that was designed to be a permanent place for our creativity
It's actually 10 months old so we would have only have 2 more months of it
That's a fair comment, Debbie, I cannot argue with that.
For discussions like 'Creative Space', there is no expiry date as such because they will always be current.
However, I think there are others that do, such as ones where members are in need of advice relating to something that may no longer be relevant a few years down the line.
