Time for Search Upgrade

Post by n00b Saibot »

I simply hate it when I have just logined and my net conn goes kaput.:evil::o

Then I am unable to see new posts because this feature - View Posts since last visit becomes useless then. :(

:idea: So I suggest that pleeeease include an option in search function
that would return all posts which were posted between specified time.

That would help me read all new posts even after a break in conn. :)

All you guyz dere say whaddya think about it and well... please implement it... :wink:

I took your advice and searched like this

Keywords: *
Author: *
Search Previous: 1 Day

At first it didn't give any results. No Response. Just a blank page. Not even HTML in it. Refreshed 3 times. :( Then ! bang !

the asterixes force it to do a lot more checking.. just use an asterix in the author field. You can leave the keywords blank.
