A Change To Help Determine Re-Activated Threads

[unimatic1140]

Hi Everyone,

There was an issue the other day on automaticwasher.org where an old thread from 4 years ago was "re-activated". In this thread a member found a very rare cool old dryer. Well not realizing that this was an old thread that was just reactivated via the new system, other members started congratulating the original poster on their fabulous new find LOL!

So they asked how we can determine if a thread has been reactived. There really isn't a good way of determining that for sure. So I came up with the idea that any old thread will now have the information bar inside the thread above each old post in yellow (as opposed to green here and blue on aw) if the post is 1/2 year old or more.

Here is an example of what I mean, the older posts have a yellow bar, the newer ones at the bottom have the standard green bar. The pink bar by the way means it is one of your own posts...

Sounds like a good idea Robert, it'll make more sense.

That is great Robert, thanks!!

It also helps to quickly see which post was the most recent post as the newer posts are green, so it also helps split up the new posts on an old thread without having to look at the date. I hope I didn't confuse you by saying “post“ to much!
