Would it be possible to keep OLD threads from reappearing as Latest because of a new reply hitting a DU Milestone #? [View all]
That happened with a no-longer-relevant thread I posted in October
https://www.democraticunderground.com/100218381548
when I replied this morning to a DUer who'd just posted reply 74 (no idea how they found that very old tnread) and my reply, 75, was a Milestone number and put the thread on the Latest page.
I've edited the OP to add an all-caps intro asking people NOT to post new replies in that old discussion, since it isn't at all relevant now.
But it would be nice if something could be added to the code to block messages no longer on the 30 pages of each forum's board from showing up under Latest. Something like the code that keeps messages that have fallen off those 30 pages from being kicked back to page 1.
