Size of the date on posts!

[ericmark]

I just answered a post, and saw posts listed below it, and nearly clicked on them.

It is so easy to miss the dates. Can anything be done to highlight a date over 6 months old?

Really.
The date of the original Post is easily checked,
as about the first thing to do !!!!!

As you'll already know this, I hope, you should bear in mind that threads which are displayed at the bottom of the screen, i.e., when you're viewing an existing thread, in the section where it says "Similar threads" means that they are probably already resolved, so there isn't any need to click on them.

Failing that, just look at the date of the final post made.

Some relevant threads go one for days, months or even years. Always checking the date of the original post made wouldn't be ideal.

United States. Have you not noticed the sheer amount of spam, posted on the forums, as a first post, by posters claiming to be in the US?

I have, but I thought you were talking about this thread, in which the only non-UK contribution has been from Australia.
