can we have a yesterday link when searching for messages please?

[robinpud]

Are you clever enough to add a yesterday link onto the search messages page so that I don't need to input any dates to search messages in the last 24 hours from a specific poster, I can use the yesterday and today links. Please?

Just set the dates you lazy mare

At this rate people are going to want Tech to come round and read out the messages and type replies for them too.

Give the poor bloke a break.

Spare a thought for those of us trying to use the boards in different time zones and missing all the important stuff. Yes, I know I'm idle, but it might help others.

[SatanGeorge]

Eh? I really don't see what difference the time zone makes. A 'yesterday' button would still work based on the time zone of the board, not of the poster.

I was joking, but to be honest I do think some of the requests people make of Tech are a bit on the silly/bone idle/down right bloody stupid side.

I would find it helpful to have a 'in the last 24 hours' or 'last 48 hrs' tab, as I go to bed early and I often miss stuff posted before midnight, so 'today' isn't too helpful.
I sometimes put 'today' in each box then just alter the first box using the delete button. It is really tricky to type in dates.

SatanGeorge that's a bit mean!

[SatanGeorge]

What, having an honest opinion and feeling sorry for Tech is mean?

Gee, people really are getting touchy around here.

I would like a posts made since last visit button too and a scrolling page so it shows all of them, and not just as many as can fit on.

I'd like Tech to bring me hot buttered crumpets in bed, but I'm on a hiding to nothing with that, I suspect.

[FlightAttendant]

No Satangeorge, didn't think opinion was mean, I just thought you were calling people bloody stupid.

And I feel sorry for tech too, though I'm sure he gets a surfeit of cake working here

[SatanGeorge]

No, I think some of the requests are bloody stupid.

I reserve my opinions on the people

Fairy nuff

Hi, we'll see what we can do on this one - it may be something that Tech's already got up his sleeve.

[robinpud]

Thanks Olivia. It may not seem relevant or appropriate to some, but if you're posting in another timezone, just to be able to quickly find posts made in a specific time frame would be much appreciated.
