This. When a new post is reactivated by someone, responders don't always notice how old the thread's age, just the new post.

Where to Locate Shore Power Plug
I've recently been adopted by a beautiful CP 23/2. She was wondering where I should mount a shore power plug. Any thoughts?

I did notice a change in the Xenforo behavior a few months ago that seems to make that a bigger problem. I usually follow the New Posts page, and the links there generally bring me to the first new/unread post in a thread. What’s different is that on really old threads that get a new reply the link now seems to go to the start of the thread instead of the first new post. I don’t remember that happening before. I usually end up reading a few posts and getting ready to answer before I notice the date that’s like 10 years old.
I plead guilty. Apologies to all. I am new here. I'll be vigilant not to commit this mortal sin again. But why is this mistake such a mistake that it disturbes the Force?
It isn't. Just seems to be out of place. However if you want to bring up an old thread for a good reason - no problem at all. What doesn't seem logical is when people answer a question from a old thread that is several years old - probably not relevant....
