MNHQ. Please can the ZOMBIE Thread Warning stay on zombie threads permanently. I keep getting caught out by zombie threads that have been resurrected by other posters. There are loads of them at the moment. Sad

I put a lot of thought into some of my posts and it's frustrating when I realise that the OP has long gone. Confused

I understand that sometimes there is a good reason for zombie threads to be resurrected but having the warning permanently on the thread won't prevent this. Thank you Smile

Hi HaremScarem

Wait, come back, we're here! Grin

This seems like a pretty reasonable suggestion. We'll have a word with our lovely Tech folk to see how feasible it would be.

@UselessNess

MNHQ Do you have these warnings on the bereavement threads? Confused You would have to call them something else if you did. Old Threads?

We actually don't have the warnings for threads in the bereavement or miscarriage/pregnancy loss topics, precisely because it so tricky to word a warning sensitively.

Will check what's happening with the warning Smile

Me again.

We've just had a chinwag, and we reckon a compromise might be to have the zombie warning stay there for 10 posts. The warning could then disappear after that, as arguably, after 10 posts a thread is alive again.

What do people think?

Hi all,

We'll give the zombies a prod and see if they can hang around a bit longer on the threads.
