fishbites Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Just noticed this morning again ... an old post that hasn't been commented on for well over 18 months (not since Feb 2009) has appeared on the Active Content listing.... this one was just one of those many threads about the when's why's and what for's about feeding fry.... there's been quite a few 'ghost threads' popping up over recent weeks so thought I'd just ask if anyone knows how it happens or if the forum is playing tricks on us? Is there a way to lock off old posts from doing this after a period of time perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckie Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 I believe they are threads with a poll, which resurface when someone has voted in the poll but not necessarily posted a comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbites Posted October 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Ahh.. didn't notice that.... I just clicked on the date to go directly to the last post... then found it was 2009.... but you're right with this one .... when I scrolled to the top it had a poll on it.... Maybe we've got a politician in our midst who won't stop voting even though the election is over!!!! LOL..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 I think I voted on a poll. Only once.. something about MW and BBS. Sorry. :embarrass: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadoh Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 I'm afraid I'm guilty of this too. I voted on a poll before I noticed it was 2yrs out of date... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckie Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Vote away - people can but a 'use by' date on the polls if they want. Just because we didn't know you when the poll started doesn't mean we don't value your opinion now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Thanks Lisa. I didn't know they popped up.. I'll think I'll just stay away. :embarrass: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
