Just curious...

[jp61]

Recently I've noticed old threads showing up in the "SMF Recent Activity" without anyone posting to it.

For example this one is listed there now.... http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/120030/smoking-precooked-turkey-breast#post_796750

Not complaining here, just wondering what that's all about.

Someone posted to it 3 days and 9 hours ago but they were replying to a post from over 4 years ago.

That's kind of strange..... am curious why that happens. Not a software or computer person so I'm stumped

It's up with a reply now. I think what's happening is a new member post to an old thread, The thread gets moved to most recent, but the new member post is delayed for moderation.

 I have no clue what the protocols and policies are here, but have seen other boards where new member posts are moderated the first few times.

Very possible.

I thought (am probably wrong) that only pics are held back for new members.

Either way, it makes no difference. I just happen to notice and found it strange.
