I love reading old threads but why do some people complain when an old thread has been bumped?

Hi there Candlefairy. Generally, posting on 'zombie' threads is considered a bit of a no-no, which is why we include a warning at the bottom of the thread to make people aware. However, it's not actually against the rules to do so. Sometimes really old threads are resurrected by someone with new information or the OP returns to update, which is always lovely. If you're about to post on a zombie thread, perhaps just make it very clear in your post that you are resurrecting an old thread and why to help make it clear to others posting after you. In general though, it's often nicer and less confusing to start your own new thread if a thread you're looking at is looking a little dusty round the edges. Hope that helps.
