Today I inadvertently bumped a thread that had been idle since 2018. I apologize. I didn't look. I really wasn't trying to contribute to the problem. In case it might be of any use, here is what happened:
I was in the middle of a boring meeting and had my laptop with me. I decided to log into bike forums. I logged in and was greeted with a page I don't normally see:
https://www.bikeforums.net/trending.php
It lists "trending" threads. The one I bumped had its last post in 2018. Again, I wasn't paying attention, but it does make me wonder if that happens frequently. "Trending" implies current. For some reason that thread got tagged.
Edit: Taking a closer look, all but the first 6 on that page are dated 2018. I wonder if there is a bug of some sort in the BB software?
Again, please accept my apologies for contributing to this on-going problem. I hope the above desciption might be of some utility.
