Could Dormant and "Old" threads be marked in some way?

I think many of us are tired of fairly old or dormant threads being bumped up (like a query someone posted 1-4 yrs ago). Could "old" OPs, those at least 6 months old, be shaded in a different colour to give us an obvious visual clue? Maybe pale yellow?

Hello. Thanks for the suggestion.

We'll certainly have a think.

There are some threads - in pregnancy, for example - that do seem to run for a bit, then stop for a bit, then get revived and run a bit more. Thinking the "best bits of pregnancy" ones or "worst bit of childbirth" ones or whatever.

Would you want those ones marked too?

Hi HarrietJones

Sorry it has taken a while to get back to you. We will pop this on the list of things to discuss in the office.

Please bear with us. As you can imagine various MNHQers are on annual leave and when they get back we I get to go but rest assured it is on our radar and we will have a look into it as soon as possible.

It's a bit of a thorny one, HarrietJones, tbh

While we see your argument, quite often the only reason for the bumping of an old thread is that someone is up to no good (spamming or trolling). Not sure shading would stop them (unfortunately).

And then, as we posted earlier on this thread, there are some threads - in pregnancy, for example - that do seem to run for a bit, then stop for a bit, then get revived and run a bit more. Thinking the "best bits of pregnancy" ones or "worst bit of childbirth" ones or whatever.
