I don't get this shit. Why is it so bad to bring up old threads? Boomers in forums are worse than reddit users.

>"have you updated windows and all your drivers?"

this would be funnier if it were a real problem. the other way around tho...

This is usually the issue on Windows though. If something's not working the first thing you should try is updating the software.

people who complain about this confirmed as underage plebes. Most people never bother to do more than one search when looking for older solutions, so lazily opt for jamming their brilliant and original question into the community's face.

It does happen sometimes as an automatic, condescending answer from advanced coders, but rarely.

EVERY FUCKING ANSWER on Microsoft's help site is like that

I'm so glad the only web forum I still go to doesn't care if you reply to a post from seventeen years ago.
they'll probably mock you if you thought you were replying to someone recent/still active, but there's no issue with necrobumping, unless you're really doing it for no reason and have nothing to say

if you make a thread that there's already one for, the mods will just be like "Hey there, there's an old thread; I moved it, so don't worry. I'll just lock this one, here's the link."
it's nice

to be fair, a lot of people will actually have their issue solved by this
shit's fucking dumb when you get a reply like that after having already said you tried that though

>some users don't want to be reminded of the past
man, fuck those cunts

>complete their retarded captcha puzzle
I once got a captcha form some forum where I had to balance a ball or some stupid shit

>for the people in the future having the same problem here's the solution that worked for me

I have only gotten that handful of times.

lmaoing hard

Yup, it's terrible. I don't even click anything from microsoft's site because I have never once found the solution to an issue on there.

It's what the thread deserves if they address the person asking the question in a negative way.

These two make the perfect couple.

The more ""badges"" (or internet points) they have, the less likely they're going to give a shit to answer the actual question.

this is natural and logical and part of the human nature. if something has a beginning, is has an ending.This is the purifying cycle of Life, Death and Rebirth to which all souls/threads are bound

You have to wonder how many people did this precisely to cause this reaction, and how many did it genuinely because in their tiny minds they thought privately posting the solution instead of publicly sharing it was the "best way".

At least somebody took the time to read your question. I have 3yo+ unanswered Stack Overflow questions.

fucking this.
ppl ranting about necro skullfuck when posting in old but exact threads

This thread is gold. I have seen pretty much everything posted here.
Some forum communities are such brain fried, autistic circlejerks where Jow Forums looks perfectly normal against.

Because threads on forums don't expire, and bumping an old thread pollutes page 1. I've been meaning for a long time now to propose sage (or autosage) functionality to the PHPBB/MyBB/vB/Xenforo developers because it would be extremely useful.
