I'm interested in researching the earliest posts on these forums.

Is there any way to limit searches to before a date?

Yes, d:

(hello to Kentucky ... by the way)

 

Up in the right of the main drum talk page ... you will see a box that says SHOW TOPICS FROM LAST 30 DAYS. This has a drop down window. From that window ... select ... SHOW ALL TOPICS.

We started this forum around Feb of 2001. (if I remember correctly)

That should take you there.

 

Thanks,

The search feature is very useful, but what I find annoying is that after

you look at a one of the choices from your search you often get a "page expired" notice when you try to go back to look at more items. So you end up having to re-enter the search criteria to see those results again. If your search turned up many items this can make looking at the list very time consuming.

 

Is there any way to prevent getting the "page expired" notice?

Open the threads you're looking at in a new window. Close window when yer done.

Well, I'm really trying to limit the massive number of responses to my historical survey but I'm getting the picture that's not possible.

I am not experienceing the same problem with expired pages. However, I am on a Mac. Perhaps this is a PC browser problem?
