Why is every question five years old?

Lemonsquish,
When the going gets rough, you can make lemonade!

Maybe you are a victim of all-or-nothing thinking errors...Your new post is only 20 minutes old, and here we are!

There are posts that are 7 years old.

Aging Care CM had said that on the new, upcoming website, anything over 180 days old will be archived.  That means over 180 days old without a recent post, I believe.

If an old post survives, the onus is on the last poster who did not check the dates and answered anyway.  No worries.

Lemon, when the new and improved format takes place, I believe those older questions will still be on-line but we would no longer be able to answer.... thus you won't see these questions unless you do a search as Wally had mentioned.

As cwillie said, to get to the current answers in a very old post, you need to click on "LAST", do not click on the page number just in case there were over 1k answers to that one question.

if you are doing a search, with certain words. it may be certain subjects haven't been recently asked. and your searches are pulling up old questions.

there are new questions every single day. not all are old ....at all.

Because there is nothing new under the sun.
People can identify today with what was happening five years ago.

Or, you can start a new thread.

Because you are obviously reading in the wrong place.
