Do you tend to only answer new questions, or do you ever answer questions posted months ago?

Any question will do for me!
-
If I run out of questions that don't interest me on the first few pages I will go way back and check out the others I missed. I always find good ones back there.
-
I'm guilty of only answering new questions.
-
i often go through the really old questions to see if i can answer any of them.
-
I answer all sorts of questions new and old.
-
Depends how much time I have, if I've just come on for a quick 10 minutes as I have now, it's the new ones. If I'm browsing and want an in depth conversation I'll look for an interesting old question and answer it. Most of the answers I have for my own questions however, seem to appear within a few hours of me posting them.
-
i notice more and more that the older questions are the better they are, sadly. i answer both.
-
just whenever i hunting for answers i answer any question i see because it doesn't really matter if it's old or not!!!
-
I answer both, older questions seem to need alittle more thought and some research on occasions which I enjoy.
-
I go back and forth
-
New as well as questions posted months ago ... guess if the question is good it doesn't matter :-)
-
I check old questions. Especially when the main page is slow. I like to check the unanswered questions, because a lot of time I'll know the answers to them.
-
I answer new ones and old ones

(deleting duplicate post- sorry!)

I go for new questions, mostly- because if it's old and unanswered, I probably don't know the answer either. But also, if you answer an old question, it gets bumped to the front. I'm used to forums where that's considered "necroposting"- bringing something dead and settled back to life. It's considered annoying at best and a ban-worthy offense in other cases. So when someone posts their answer to something that was last on front in april, or years ago... I'm not going to answer it. it was finished.
