Lots of Donaldinho's posts seemed to end up on there.
We may be missing out on retaining some new members who join a two year old thread then can't find it
Thanks all. I'm not sure why my last answer was removed-I was just giving an explanation which is that I've realised that some small groups of users use old threads to have conversations that don't appear in Latest Posts and maybe that's what's happening here
I am sure it's just like a feeding frenzy one person picks up on an old question from a historical menu below without realising the date and the others just join in.
^Thanks, but they don't appear on Latest Posts so I was puzzled as to why so many are joining in. I think the main reason is something to do with people accessing via Google- maybe they enter the crossword name and get a link to an old thread. Anyway, Ed has closed the two main such crossword threads down now.
Anyway, it was just a thought.
