I wasn't on the old site, I only joined this month. I wouldn't know what questions were dragged back from the archives.

Ice man Compare the "view" number (in your browser address bar on top of your screen) to another question that you know to be current, like one of your own. If there's a big difference between them then the question is old.

No they are pretty much all the same except for current topics. I know some of them I answered years ago.

I figured the questions that have long threads of answers and comments are recycled...Do the old question's sequential numbers show up in the address bar?

Yes, exactly right. You just have to compare the "view number" ( the actual question #) to any other that you know to be current, like one that you or I just asked. I bitched about the answers not sticking thing and got a reply. They launched a new anti-spam program and it was marking all answers as spam , and kicking them off. Copy and paste the following to see for yourself. http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/3494071 -

That is a good possibility, but looking at the "view number" will confirm it. -

Yes, I have figured that out now. Current posts have numbers above 3,490,000 and archived posts have numbers below 1,600,000.
