How about including the date of the original post in the title of each thread? Current format only shows the title and who created the thread...the last poster and time/date are shown on the right. Sometimes, having that additional info available at a glance is helpful. For Example, it might look something like this: PERTH MINT HALF-OFF SALE, HURRY, THIS WEEK ONLY : by Irondog 8/18/2008 You probably wouldn't click on it because it's a thread from more than three years ago. The way things are now, if someone were to "revive" the old thread by posting in it, you'd see the date of that last post and be tempted to click on it...only to be sorely dissapointed that you missed that boat. Hope I explained the idea in a way that makes sense...
