Yes, jolenegreen, every word you type within this forum gets remunerated, though with a fraction of a cent. Every line you write converts into texto-dollars whether it is in a new discussion or an old one. Not only you will get the reward but the poster may also get additional cent for your generous offering. Every time my old discussion gets a reply, I see a cent increased in my earning even before normal earning calculations. But, as one of the responders has marked, the poster may get annoyed doing this. One reason has been mentioned. Another one is that when someone posts something it is usually with some perspective and mood usually. Getting back to one's own older discussion can be a mental exercise for the poster him/herself. But, its a free forum, you are free to do whatever you wish to do. So go ahead and get them:-)

You still get credit for them, but don't expect a response back. Many of the older posts are from users that are no longer around.

I dont see why not. All you have to do it note what yout points total is then answer one and if you total increases by one point then you have your answer.

You can get credit. Although if you answer ones with a lot of answers already, the author of the poster might get annoyed. Because it brings those to the top of the discussion list and pushes down the new ones. But I've had people do it. I don't say anything. And if they didn't already have a lot of replies, I really don't mind. But I saw one person who wrote a post specifically telling people not to reply to his old discussions. Weird!

As far as I am aware yes you would! If a discussion is still there and you answer it it tends to come back into circulation and gets more responses too so you may even be able to help the person who posted the discussion in the first place! Most of all if you want to respond to a discussion just do it sweets - don't even worry if you get credit for it or not - just have fun! xxx

I believe so too. I have been trying to go back even a few days an post to discussions that are just hanging out. You have a better chance of getting best discussion that way too.

Go ahead and respond to those posts it wont hurt and it could help you in the long run. It might also revive the discussion and people could start responding to it

I dont think that it really matters and makes any difference, they are all there to be responded to..I have responded to really old ones, and I dont think that I have noticed any difference..

yup i think so! and i get really old discussions responded to sometimes, and it amuses me! especially if it's something that I asked for ideas and suggestions, it's never too late to get them! i've kinda given up wondering how to get credit for various posts. so i just post away on discusssions that interest me and hope for the best, payment wise. :)
