Resurrecting Old Topics

Does anyone like to go back through the older topics and "resurrect" one that was interesting or maybe wasn't completely answered? Some of the topics I've looked at toward the end are really neat, and I wasn't a member when they were first posted.
Also, is there a way to access an archive of the topics so that if I have a question I can first go to any that have already been discussed? We talk about so many things, I think it would be a major effort just to keep up!

As far as looking back, you can search the archives by looking just above the first part of the topic, where it says "search the forums..." in a type in box. Type the subject your looking for in there, and hit go, and it'll come up with the topics that match.
And yes, I've seen many people go abck and add to topics, and sometimes that can be good, and sometimes bad, but usually good(it just depends on the topic being brought back). Alot of times it's nice, it brings back up good discussions and newer members add something we may have never known about other wise.

Hiya Mark,
I like your idea. I've been doing that because there is such a goldmine of information here and with the search, I found questions that looks like I was here a year ago. I wasn't but it works out great that a discussion on my topic was there. Sometimes I add to it to see if there are any new updates, or I just start a topic to see if anyone has tried what I want to try. The guys here are great, and extremely helpful. Welcome and have a great time.
