Hi,

quick question about forum etiquette. Should I revive an old thread about a topic if I have new input / questions directly related to it? Or should I simply make a new thread?

It's not my place to say, Steve ... but here is my thought:

Assuming it's a fairly old thread and you are introducing a new "chapter"

I would start a new thread, but open your post with a link to the old one.

Thus:

Blah, Blah, [reference this thread] Blah, Blah, Blah

Note that for this example, I hyperlinked to the forum topics list, but you can link to any thread.

... if you don't know how, just ask.

MichaelG.
