Hopefully now that Murph's on the job , the old man icons will be placed next to old threads in a more timely fashion. People have complained all summer about the forum being slow on traffic , yet it seems to take longer than in the past to get the icon up.
The thing that annoys me is when posters use the old man icon on a new post , that really makes things confusing.
In a perfect world mods would have access to an icon that posters dont have access to and then everybody would know it's an old thread when they see that icon.
