A lot of old questions that were solved months ago have surfaced , so check the dates before you spend/waste time answering.
This happens when someone starts deleting their old answers, or an ad uses the topic, and so on.
Sometimes this happens when the spammers post something. It gets reported, and then both posts get deleted, but the question is back at the top of the list.
But yeah, people don't read the questions or dates very well.
Elizabeth, thanks for the reminder.
