Think I have discovered the problem with the Answer Centre and the influx of old threads being dragged up by new users.
When you enter Answer Centre – the featured images for various categories suggest to a new user that this is the place to start.
So, click on say Buying on eBay and up comes a list of all questions Problem being – the Posts are NOT dated although they are recent.
But if someone scrolls and scrolls to find a question suiting the problem they are having, they really don’t have a clue what date it is until it is actually opened.
Once opened most people are just looking for the answer, they don’t look to the RHS for the date and are thereby either getting out-dated information or adding a question to the thread, and usually receiving a bit of flak for opening said thread. I am one who gets frustrated with dead threads, but obviously this is not the newbies fault to a large degree.
In addition to this some old threads have a green tick for the accepted and correct answer which now appears directly under the question asked - So a new person clicks on the question, views ‘The Solution’ and again could be getting outdated, irrelevant and incorrect info depending on the OP date.
The dates show on the Discussion Boards, so why not on the AC
