Bumping Up Old Threads

I’m sure there was a search function on the old board? Maybe some got archived in that catflaporama thingy but I’m sure the odd thread was resurrected. If anything I seem to remember far more trolls (or WUMs as they used to be known as) and characters which seemed a bigger issue than the odd bumped thread.

Messageboards are dynamic by their very nature, they allow topics to be discussed new and old - I’ve seen a couple of these told-you-so type bumped threads but they’re easy enough to scroll past and the date/time is on every post anyway.
You could Google search the old board too
 
You never got posts from way back resurrected as you couldn't search for them. I prefer to read new threads rather than have wade through loads of old, irrelevant posts now just to find that the new comments on it are the equivalent of "ya, boo, sucker." 🤷🏻‍♂️
So what is the thread that’s been bumped that has upset you so much?
 
We must learn from history and good old traditional bump helps with that.
What about linking to other message boards.. imagine the shame and embarrassment Derby fans must have saying they were gonna poop in the riverside after Steve Gibson saved their club.. do we need to download a piece of software to stop that?

Anyone else getting ads for a shooting range in krakow? Is this the next fmttm trip out?
 
Got no problems with it thanks Rob, I think it can be a bit of fun to point out that somebody was so adamant about their expert opinion, but they were so drastically wrong. I like a bit of pulling out the public stocks and throwing rotten eggs and tomatoes at people (metaphorically speaking of course, what with the cost of living crisis nobody can afford to throw away good rotten eggs and tomatoes etc) from time to time.
 
This can be really annoying and is often used as way of ridiculing someone for something they have got badly wrong in the past. It can be a bit of fun but it can also be a real pain.
I have been contacted about a software resource that can stop this happening. After 3 months all threads would be archived. You could search and reach them but they are locked and cannot be hoofed again.
Would this be something that is a good idea?
Rob, one important function is missing from the board, when viewing it on your phone, getting to the most recent thread means tapping through every page unless I’m missing something ?
Just been on the Sunderland board and you can easily see the most recent page (ie. Page 37) and just click on it
This board, to my knowledge doesn’t allow you to do that on your phone
 
Not sure if it’s possible but if the thread title had the original post date, as well as the latest post, then users can decide if they want to open it or not.

I often open a thread based on the title and think it’s a new thread with a decent amount of activity so think something interesting must be afoot, only to find it’s pages of historic posts which are no longer relevant. Then you have to find the recent post to see why it’s been hoofed, often only to find there is no real reason and a new thread could have been started as the old posts add nothing to the latest detail.

The ‘ha ha look at this’ type hoofs don’t bother me and some posters have put some good reasons for hoofing old threads so adding the detail of the origin post date allows posters to assess whether the hoofed thread is of interest to them.
 
Hello Glover, what do you mean by "an agenda"? I'm not having a go in the slightest ad perhaps I merit a 'Whoosh', but I don't understand what you mean.

Thanks and UTB 👍
Well i don't think Rob has just got up and thought here's an idea we could block old threads. It's been done to hide and protect someone's àrse.

Do you not have the double arrow thing to the right of next that takes you to the last page?

I quite like it. I think I’ve predicted every Boro manager bar Woodgate would be a promotion winner, possibly even leading is back into Europe via a cup win. I even thought Warnock might squeeze us into a playoff place for a few weeks at the start of 2021.

I was saying people should forget about Akpom about a week into last August, now I’m thinking the next cat we get may well be named Chuba.

I think some of the old threads are a good reminder to not take things too seriously and to not get too wrapped up with trying to make definitive judgements on managers and players.
