The other day I realized that the forum was more than 2 years old. The first message was posted just about 45 seconds after midnight on October 1st, 1996.

Knowing that the AGE dropdown only went to a year and took forever to come up (if at all) at that, I have integrated a date range filter to the threads so you can get "a day or week or month or any range" in the life of the forum. I know there is plenty of wonderful things in last years activity as well.

So anyway, I have it up at http://www.mudcat.org/newthreads.cfm for you adventurous types to try out and see if there is any bugs or anything. You will also see that the DATE fields are clickable. This will show you all the messages posted on that day.

Keep in mind that the larger your date range, the longer it will take to process and load. If you specify no range, it will show you about the last days worth of messages. If you specify only the start range, it will show you everything from that date till now.

This is all in effort to make the over 40,000 messages in the forum more managable. Let me know what you think.
