Bump the the thread forward and continue using that.

One issue: older threads tend to glitch up more frequently.

Catch my drift.

Not really the case, it's just that all threads are buggy or eventually will be.

Nothing to "win", i don't really like dupe threads but i do let 'em slide if the originall is really old.

"Bumped" the classic, heh.

But bumping old threads is fine, not the pointless ones. People get annoyed because the horrible 2 month old ones get bumped.

I made a new thread about profile ideas about a week ago, even though there was already a thread, only because I had a lot to write and did not want to leave a novel on someone else's thread..I don't know if people get annoyed with long posts?

Better Bulletin Board navigation could alleviate duping problems. This might include an "Enter Page #" feature and/or something like "Page 1 of 10."

Catch my drift.

Bumping up old threads is acceptable if it's a thread that people could actually get back into.

BUMP! *I mean, one of my two-month-old threads was bumped up yesterday. There've probably been about 1,643 more threads with the same topic since I started it. Seemed a bit pointless to me. Should I be locking my really old threads?

If you can find a couple of dupes bump them all forward and keep yours.

You could always look through your list of posts.

I think you should lock, the answer is simple if there are dupes i tend to look through the dates each was posting locking/deleting the most newest.

I only think they should be locked if there's another one that was posted before it and they are both on the front page..
I think this is ready to be locked..

Inbeforelock:
If (and when) the thread glitch gets fixed, it wouldn't be so painful to bump threads.

Catch my drift.

Bump old threads. Lock Please.

If anything, if you can't find the thread (AT ALL) at you know who created it. Try giving credit.
