Mick, you missed the point.

Why add to an old post rather than start a new one? Because there is a lot of info in the old thread that does not need to be said again. If you add to that old thread rather than starting a new one, it shows you did search first and read what was there and find it didn't answer your question. And anyone reading your new post will know what has already been said too so they may not repeat.

Is it not better to have one long thread about fonts than 6? Obviously it is. So, just search before you start a new post. That's the rules. If you find nothing, post a new topic. If you find something that isn't exactly what you wanted but close, add to it and show you did your research and give anyone replying to you, the research you did as well.

That is what is the difference. That is how we keep the message boards from growing out of hand and restarting old topics in new threads. That is what is trying to be done here.
