On the other forum, the threads are still there and you can read them but you can't reply to them. If you want to start a new thread on the same topic you can do that though. It seems to work really well.

I never look at the dates or times that people post so I am guilty of writing on old threads However, even if the person is answering the original poster's question, it can still be useful info to those who are reading it and maybe having the same issue?
