How do people find zombie threads in order to resurrect them? I don’t mean when a poster has searched for a topic and found an old thread and posted on it deliberately, in hopes of advice, but random ones where people reply six months later as if it’s just been posted.

I went to reply to a thread today that appeared in Active only to see my own name and realise I’d already replied - in January! But someone else had resurrected it.

Just curious really.

Hello @afaloren as pps have said, many people arrive on Mumsnet via Google search and then add to a thread. (We do have a warning on the message box when a thread is a zombie.) In some circumstances, it's not an issue to reanimate an old thread (e.g. when the OP comes back with an update) but if you think that isn't the case, please report to us and we can close it to new posts if necessary.
