Quick Question

Is it not permitted to reestablish an older thread that one finds interesting?

Often times, someone posts something that is not a "hot" topic (in other forums I belong to) that later becomes highly visible with an original post sometimes months earlier.

Just wondering since I am new here. Should I only look at posts that are a day or two old?

I don't see why you can't look at and post to whatever you like. And you're right, something that isn't a hot topic at first can become so later.

If you like a particular subject area such as "overtime" or "pediatric codes" there is a search function and it will go back quite far into the past. Anything you post on SHOULD come to the forefront of the list of topics.

Enjoy!

I guess I should hve been a bit clearer on that. I did post to a thread that had been dormant for a couple of weeks. Pretty quickly a new post came informing me the thread was closed and that I should look at the date.

Needless to say I am confused about this but I am new so if there are topics that are not permitted or special rules about things that differ from the agreement I sure do wish I knew about them.

I would think that you would be unable to post to a closed thread! strange...

Well I suppose you could look at the very last post first, and see if it says the thread is closed ...

It wasn't closed when I posted. I pretty quickly got an email about a post to the same thread. When I went to read it I found a pretty rude statment telling me to look at the date on the original post. I tried to post again and ask the same question I asked in this post original post and got a pop up telling me the thread had been closed.

My thoughts are this forum is being cencored by at least one RN who prevents LPNs from voicing a controversial opinion. OK, I can live with that, after all I am a very conservative nurse in a very liberal field. :)

It's not a problem, I am new here and just trying to learn the way things are done or not done as the case may be!
