New feature: search into the distant past

[His Divine Shadow]

Anyone who has sought to search posts from the early days of the TMF may have noticed that they could only see results from just a year or two back. Thanks to an inspirational PM from venray searches can now go all the way back to the stone age of the TMF; "Find Posts from" on the Search Page now allows for searching for posts from 2 to 7 years ago. Say you wanted to search for posts in the neighborhood of 6 years ago. You would choose "6 Years Ago" and either "and Newer" to get posts from 6 years ago and newer or "and Older" to get posts from 6 years ago and older.

If, in "Show results as threads" mode you see threads with very recent last posts don't fret; checking the first post of the thread will reveal that the thread is old, some replies not. Try it out, eh? You might find a forgotten gem amongst all the aged posts. 🙂

Well, this is a nice feature, do not doubt. But there will be a downside. There is going to be a flood of "why doesn't this link work?" or "can't see the picture" posts. Ah well, take the good with the bad.

It's still pretty cool though. Nice work.
