Perhaps the moderators could change that whole sentence. I don't mean to be a know-it-all, but this isn't just a typo. There are many people here with minor knowledge of english and I think a correct sentence would help all members to understand the rules. I mean, re-frame??? Who wrote that? How about this sentence instead: "You are viewing a Thread which is older than 60 days. Please refrain from bumping threads this old!" (this old or these old? I think this old sounds better, but I'm not sure either. We'd need some native speakers here)or how about: "You are viewing a thread which has been created more than 60 days ago. Please refrain from reviving it." Alternatively, to make everything easier to understand you could replace refrain with don't. ("...Please don't revive it...")

You F*^&)en grammar nazi, get out!!!!! Nah just kidding man Thanks for pointing this out, but there isn't nothing the moderators can do about this (me or DarkSamus). I'm not sure who wrote that, but the only ones that can change that kind of stuff would be a admin like Wizard or Tromp.

You F*^&)en grammar nazi, get out!!!!! I live in Germany, I'd rather stick to "know-it-all" in that case. Okay. Maybe Wizard or Tromp can do something about it. It just doesn't look good and as I said earlier there are many people on here who barely speak any english. If that sentence isn't even right, no wonder so many threads get revived.

But there are other little spelling errors I have noticed as well, like one of the member titles has "memeber" instead of "member". Its the "Dedicated Memeber" one if I'm not mistaken. Hopefully Wizard gets around to fixing these issues when he has the chance.

Hopefully Wizard gets around to fixing these issues when he has the chance. Absolutely no reason to feel bad. I don't mind. True there are a few other misspellings around here. I'll keep my eyes peeled for more of them. A little off topic: I miss the "Preview Post" function.
