Thread Name: BS: Renewing old threads
Subject: Renewing old threads
Just a suggestion, which has been made before.

Sometimes browsing through the archives you come across an old thread that you think deserves to be renewed. But it's very long, and that means that, if you just post to it, it'll take a long time t0 load - and some people won't be able to load it at all.

So it can be a good idea to start a "part two". And to allow continuity, so people with that difficulty about loading long threads can know what it's about, I think it's good to include the last few posts from the old thread, as well as a link to it from the new thread.

All you need do is highlight the last few posts, click on Ctrl and C, and then copy it into the first post of the new thread by clicking Ctrl and V.
