Fairly new to fora, and looking at all sorts of stuff. There are often relevant threads which have been dormant for weeks, months and possibly years. What is the etiquette for use? Can I post or do I leave them and start again? Or am I over thinking it all? (Probably the latter!) |

There's no particular etiquette but frequent restarting old threads could be frowned on. It's generally better to start afresh for anything over a couple of months I'd say.
You will have looked at the forum rules I assume  |

Thanks, that’s helpful. I did check and couldn’t see anything. |

No, there's nothing specifically about that. I just thought if you hadn't used the fora much you might not have noticed them.

Yes, pity we need to say ‘be nice and don’t be an arse’ but there we are! |

I think that needs saying in "real life" just as much as it does on here.  |

People resurrect threads all the time, for different reasons.
Some do it because they are funny, (gangbang shed anyone?) some because it (the thread) sums up what they are asking / commenting on.
If it fits, dig it up.  |
