Hi. I'm not sure how helpful it is to add the Swears by message to the end of multiple years old threads.

Hi @eleanorofaquitaine and @MyDogHasNoNose, thanks for flagging this and sorry for clogging up your feed.

Mumsnet has lots of old talk threads that still get a fair amount of traffic from search. We were testing adding links to old threads in order to help people visiting Mumsnet from search find more up-to-date content, but - somewhat embarrassingly - we didn’t think about the ramifications of posting on all these zombie threads until it was too late Blush.

We also got a little, er, overzealous on this test, which has caused a bit of chaos over on Style & Beauty - a lesson learned.

We don’t currently have a way of posting on these threads without resurrecting them, but we’re working on it. Thanks for bearing with us while we work out a solution.
