Original post was over 7 months ago so probably all sorted now. 🙂

Still worth an input!

Possibly not when the occasion that asked for advice has passed months ago.

Some threads do benefit from input even after months of inactivity.
But not all.
Necroposting is seen as a negative action on most public forums as it just encourages posters to waste their time offering advice on something that is all sorted. 🙂

@pol@Pollycat Well I do apologise then! I am a newbie here as you can see. Not heard the term Necroposting before but I presume it means a dead thread. Will take the feedback on board.

No need to apologise.

As I said, necroposting on some threads can still provide helpful advice.

From Googling:

Why do people hate Necro posts?

Because it “bumps” the topic up to the first page, taking up space. Yes - that's one of the reasons why necroposting is frowned upon. Basically, if a thread is old and its topic of discussion has been resolved (e.g. the question has been answered), then there's really no point for anyone to post on it anymore
