...and only reopen if the OP requests it.

Posters are exhuming threads from ages ago and asking for updates, posting advice, etc. The recent one was from 2012!

I often look at dates now because I've been sucked into zombie threads many times in the past but sometimes I forget, especially if the thread hasn't got too many replies.

Can MN close zombie threads from say a year? There's nothing more to be said - let it go [in Elsa's voice].

Hi - just dropping in to say thanks for the feedback. Where possible we post when a 'zombie' thread has been resurrected, but we're happy to take your comments on board. Flowers

Hi all, and thanks for your feedback.
We recognise that zombie threads can be quite an annoyance and that we could do more to flag them (or close/archive them) to improve the user experience. It's something that's on the plan (yes, we have a plan - a major upgrade plan).

Some of you will have noticed that we upgraded the content pages this week (including the MN homepage) and the next major project is the Talk boards.
Zombie threads are very much on the radar and we'll bear in mind all of your feedback so far.

We don't have a single solution at the moment - but if you report any obvious zombie threads when they're reanimated we can take a look and close them if required.

Thanks for bearing with us so far and please do bear with us a little longer.
