A fresh start
The golden rule on subjects and forum topics/threads is simple: there should be only one topic on any given subject, and only one subject discussed in any given topic.
So when should you start a new topic? Obviously, you’ll want to check what’s already been posted to make sure that your chosen subject hasn’t been raised before.
Having done that, if you find that you really have got something genuinely new to post about, then please start a new topic about it. Please don’t hijack an existing discussion and take it off-topic – including if it’s one you’ve started yourself! – as this only buries information and irritates other users.
Don’t forget to give your new topic a sensible subject title too.
