Info What is necro posting.?

[TheJoker2020]

Just seen that a post of mine was deleted, saying, Reason: Please don't necro post.

The thread was then locked.

Confused.!

it is replying to a post that is 4 or more months old. If you have a question, better start a new one that to tag an old one. People tend to only look at new threads unless they in them already

Thank you.

I replied to a post that was a few months old and had not realised as it only had 2 replies and no response from the OP, never looked at when it was posted.

Last time op responded was Sept 2020. Its old enough to think op must have given up or found an answer elsewhere.

"7. Necro post. If a thread is clearly old (created more than 3 months ago) and the discussion is over, please don't post to it. However, feel free to link to the old thread in your new post, just to add additional context. The majority of necro posts are deleted, and those threads are then closed. "
