@MNHQ is there any possible way that Zombie threads could be made to show up in a different colour? and for full disclosure yes, I have been caught out in the past

I know I shouldn't really be bothered about this, but there is a particular thread this morning where people keep on and on posting with advice for the OP who disappeared MONTHS ago - and it isn't just me who is getting driven mad by it, there are several reminders that it is a ZOMBIE thread.

I know that people use a variety of devices to access MN but surely, surely everyone can see at least a couple of posts before theirs which have ZOMBIE written repetitively and in bold.

It does beg the question of whether some posters read anything other than the opening post when deciding to respond.

Thanks for flagging this, @marymungoandminge, and believe us, we totally understand your frustration here!

We obviously have a warning ready in the text box, for anyone tempted to post on an old thread. In case you've never seen it, reads: Heads up - this thread has not been posted on for over a year. Why not start a new thread instead? But, obviously, not everyone takes heed of this - and subsequent posters often don't notice until it's too late that they're posting on an ancient thread.

We'll certainly flag up your idea of zombie threads appearing in a different colour because it's a good one.

Thanks again.
