I did not find any guidance on the subject necromancy vs repeating-topic. It would be helpful if you would update those guidelines according to your preference.

There should have been a helpful warning alerting you to the fact that the thread is old
Thread necromancy is frowned upon in all forums I've frequented until now. Like I said, Calibre develops so fast that information in threads even as old as a few weeks can be just plain false, in which case we have to go on and explain why all that's been said before doesn't apply anymore. I'll grant that there are cases where it makes sense to reopen an older thread, but we've found that in the vast majority of cases, opening a new one is preferrable. The only exception being, of course, if there's an active thread on the topic already.
