| I know I have accidentally bumped an old thread at least once before. I had googled for some information and, not surprisingly, found a good link back here. I started reading, put down my phone, and came back later. I certainly do not feel bad about any petty annoyances that may have arisen from my apparent faux pas. I frequently find myself thinking that so many people online must have the best of lives if they have the time and energy to be upset about something so benign. |

| I never thought of it as "sneaky". I just never thought of any threads on here as particularly sneaky because they were old. I've gotten some good information from very, very old threads and was happy to see those sneaky old things at the time I learned what I did. But if you post by mistake and find it's not timely once you see the date, we've all been there. Still, most of the advice, opinions or information given is timeless whether for the thread OP's dog or any dog, given similar circumstances.

| One of the reasons that old threads are revived is because members use the search function to find information on a specific topic and reply to that topic not realizing it is old or to update the information already posted.. Another reason is that there are some topics that are considered "YT classics" by long time members. There are a few that are renewed at least once a year for a good laugh. |

| I post on a lot of forums and many of them will merge a topic if a new post has been started when there has already been a post on that topic, so I know a lot of forum posters (across the whole internet) are wary of starting new threads for fear of being told off. In a lot of forums starting a new post when one already exists for that topic is frowned upon. I found this forum and I'm sure many other who post here now by google searching a topic and then finding an old post here jam packed full of information and then lept on in and posted to ask for an update or further information. I don't see the problem. meh. |

| As someone who is still a relative newby to the site, I sometimes appreciate the older threads being brought up, because they are new to me. I've learned some valuable info, had a few good laughs, and even gotten myself into a snit over some of them. It's all good. As far as multiple threads on the same topic? If we made a drinking game just out of the food questions, we'd all stay tanked 90% of the time, LOL!

| I think that they are often reopened, by new people who don't know how to start a new thread. They probably do a google or forum search and find a topic that interests them, and just start adding to it. I've been snookered in a few times, too, but when those old threads reappear, it always means that someone has added something new to the end, so maybe it's a good idea to check the end first... |

| It's scary when I find a newly replied to old thread and I check the last post and it's a newby asking for help!

| Absolutely! That's why it's so important to check the end of the thread--you never know whether there's someone who needs help with an emergency, and they don't know how to start a new thread... |
