I’m seeing a message at the bottom of various posts about them"closing" after only 5 days. I don’t think we should close any topic without a specific reason. I’ve often added a new reply to a post that was years old, since I know that people will see it when searching.
I understand you personally are trying to be helpful, but 99% (scientific number) of the time, a really old thread gets dragged up by someone just saying: “any update?” or “that didn’t work for me” with no additional context. And then it notifies 12 (scientific number) people who have no idea how to help either… it’s frustrating.
I am open to ideas as to how long they should stay open but I have been wanting this particular feature for a long time.
