Hi guys - welcome to the new posters - when you come on the forum, and are putting your information in, please take time to read all the settings - it seems that the default seting for posts is OLDEST FIRST - you need to change that to NEWEST FIRST - posting on a thread that is years old and talking to some of the posters, who may not have been on the forum for a long time, is not helpful to you or us. It also puts your post at the very end of the thread.

Hi Jules
Thanks for that enlightenment I now know why, I see these old posts dredged up from the past, could never understand why anyone would go hunting for them.
Cheers

I can tell you why they get used. If you Google Waeco problems for example you are directed to the old thread. Ive had notification by email that some one has sought help with a problem with Waeco fridges. I have answered the poster. It saves repeating previous information.

I don't have a problem with posting to older threads, helps with continuity as well as keeping the topic information in one thread, instead of scattered all over the site.
In fact other forums I frequent will often move a new thread and merge it with an earlier thread on the same/similar topic for this very reason.

I just thought something from 2006 could be out of date - also, if they ask something and don't get any response, they might think we are snobby or something.
It was more for the newbies than us old hands - which is why I posted it in the welcome sub forum as well.
Hi guys - welcome to the new posters - when you come on the forum, and are putting your information in, please take time to read all the settings - it seems that the default seting for posts is OLDEST FIRST - you need to change that to NEWEST FIRST - posting on a thread that is years old and talking to some of the posters, who may not have been on the forum for a long time, is not helpful to you or us.
