      I noticed on a couple other vBulletin boards I saw this:

      attachment.php?attachmentid=67807&d=1228322576

      I figure adding this on might stop a few of the random zombie threads we see happen every now and again across boards.

      Also whats that trackback yoke?

      You must use places other than Boards, right?

      Amended your post slightly there, 6th.

      He may be a sycophant who spends far too much time here, but he makes a good suggestion, I have to say ;)

      Great suggestion Overheal.

      Surely, though, you are here long enough to know that this should be in the development forum with a [feature request] tag on it..:):p

      That's cool but what's with the red round the bottom of the image.

      Have you been kissing your monitor again Overheal?

      Sorry for bumping this ancient thread.

      The OP has made a good suggestion, and I cannot understand why it has not been implemented already. It's been almost a day, ffs! :D

      But as I understand it CuLT keeps boards running on some butchered/custom/hand-crafted version of vBullentin so its a wonder as to if/when the feature could be added.

      Im bumping this.

      Take a look at this one: http://boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=122001

      Could have had a zombie nation on our hands if Thead wasnt there with her boom-stick.

      The thread was revived because another one of the new features led one of the posters right to it: The similar threads feature, portrayed in action here: http://boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055440740 with Similar threads showing up from 2007, 2006, 2005 and previously, 2003.

      At other times I've seen threads in After Hours brought back 4 years from the grave because some innocent mammy was googling a murder/rape case, saw After Hours making sport of it, and she signed up just to tell us all off. Which I mean, fair play, but it might not have happened if the Zombie-Warning was there.

      So Aye, it would be good to have a Zombie Warning-Checkbox for such occassions.

      I hate people who bump old threads that everyone has forgotten about. This happens all the time in AH. Can we get something like this implemented to keep the old threads old?
      Oh yeah.
      BUMP!

      Not for the moment, when we get around to adding new functionality to the site again, it'll be on the table.
