Is there a way to encourage visitors to put questions in new topics than responding to old ones?
As I visit the site, I see a lot of visitors posting semi-related, and often totally unrelated responses to threads that are very old. In rare cases it's related but more often it's a question that should be a new post. I am not being critical to these visitors; I love to see the new traffic. But I wonder if it would be helpful to implement a systemic message for users to alert them before they post, the age of the thread they are responding to and encourage these questions as new topics. It's not really a problem per se, with the exception of the visitor. I would think their questions would get more attention and more easily tracked for them to come back to rather than hunting for it in in an old thread.
