Yeah that has happened to me too... Very confusing until one thinks of trying to change the sorting of posts :-)

I guess that can also explain why some people at times "decide" to reply to very old threads ;-)

Q u o t e:

Ugh, that's going to make it fun for you to try and figure out who's deliberately thread necro-ing and who just didn't see the date.

It is normally not hard to spot the difference between a thread necromancer and someone who for some reason posted a relevant/on-topic reply to an old post. The thread necromancers usually only post a crappy one-liner comment, some Internet meme or ASCII art, and it is very evident that their purpose is to kill boredom or just to annoy :-)

There is nothing wrong with posting a serious reply to an old thread if the topic is still relevant. Many people are even polite enough to search before they post, which often result in them posting a reply in an old thread in order to avoid creating a new thread on the same topic :-)
