I sometimes click on the Recent Posts or the xxx new posts link when I visit. I noticed a thread, shown in my screen capture. Then something odd struck me about the thread, and I realized it was a way old thread. So what happened? The user hukona raised the thread, but a mod deleted or blocked their post, mainly because it made good sense to do so?

Good thing, but now it shows up in the recent posts search and if there's a way to alleviate that it might help, otherwise someone else may retry to resurrect that very old post.

I'm glad it wasn't just 'me'.

I'm not sure what you mean. The thread has multiple posts today, neither of which has been removed (one did go into moderation briefly due to an edit made by a new member).

Regular people like me clicking on that thread a while ago, we did not see hukona's comment, probably because it was in moderation. Was it in moderation because it was their first or second post? Or because they were resurrecting a 6 year old thread? Or both? Rather odd now if someone chose to note to the resurrecting person that they sort of raised a point about a very old topic. I do realize it was never marked as solved, and that LQ informs the poster that they're re-opening a very old thread, but ... they still did it. And now someone else has chimed in.

Well, never a perfect world, but at least both posts were attempts to provide assistance.

And now it's there!
