Why do you guys leave questions out here that you've 'closed' without even responding??? These show up in Google search results and it's frustrating to come here and see that you've closed these without any kind of response. Here's an example, but there are many, many more:

    We don't close them explicitly - it'll be a feature of the forum hosting software, presumably based on the age of the thread. I guess it does that on the assumption that software moves on, so the question/answer would no longer be relevant to the current versions. If you have a similar query, you can open a fresh thread.
