hi all, thank you for summoning me, @markthompson :). we do know this is an issue we need to address--one of the side-effects of so much amazing content is that some of it will be out of date. one thing we're hoping to implement soon is requiring that you specify the version you're asking about in your question. this would be combined with a scrub of the existing content to mark it with versions as possible. it's a big effort (at least, the second part is--we're investigating the first part now). it would certainly be helpful if members of the community would tag posts with applicable versions as they come across them, as well as commenting on whether something worked in a given version or not, per @ramdaspr ' s suggestion. i agree that downvoting seems harsh unless the answer never worked. so again, thanks for the feedback--it's all valuable, and we are hoping to address the issue soon. ...
