I just wanted to post a happy story that demonstrates that searching the forums does in fact work:

That just proves someone on the forums knows how to use it. I'm still waiting for Joe to investigate why my recent posts aren't appearing as talked about here.
If this thread is finished with please mark it "Resolved" by selecting "Mark thread resolved" from the "Thread tools" drop-down menu.
Please consider giving me some rep points if I help you a lot.

Yeah, it happens... what's usually funny is occasionally an old thread (like 4+ years dead) will get revived with "Hey I'm having the same problem" ....

What's even funnier is when somebody revives a 4+ year old thread to post a solution to it. How the heck did they find it, and why did they feel the need to post a solution after all those years? Might the OP still be waiting for some insight?

Totally agree, the number of times I've found a post describing EXACTLY the problem I've come across and no answer, or even worse, suggested fixes but no indication as to whether or not they've worked.Hey you never know.

I would guess most times the responder did not notice how old it was.
Now as to the consequences of the late response, there are three scenarios -
1) OP is still looking for the solution, and a substantial reward may be forthcoming.
2) OP is dead, and won't mind it being bumped.
3) OP is alive (having solved it years ago) and should be shot dead, for not marking it Resolved, and for not sharing the solution with us.
