Archiving topics

[TomasP 316]

Hello,

Later today, we are going to enable archiving feature on the forum.

Topics with no new responses within a 2-month period since the last response will be archived - meaning they will be accessible to read as usual, but will not accept new responses and will be labeled as archived.

We have decided to implement this in order to ensure that old issues don't mix with new ones, which, despite having similar symptoms, are caused by different things in most cases. Also, submitting a separate new topic for a new issue will remove doubts, which could arise now, about whether the poster is experiencing all of the symptoms described in an old issue, or just some of them. Additionally, new topics are easier to notice than revived topics, so this has the potential to improve the response rate as well.

We hope this new feature will make navigating our ESET Security Forum easier for you.

On behalf of ESET staff,
TomasP
