Eric and the Administrators,
Please, can we have some better search, cross reference and post/thread link functionality:
1) To be able to be search for posts by date, or date range. The current facility only allows finer searches within the last year. If you're searching for something older there is only one option - One Year and older.
2) To be able to search by post number or thread number. Also to display the thread and post numbers (and maybe the ubb post number where applicable) would be an advantage. A cross reference between the old (ubb) post numbers and then new (vb4) post and thread numbers would be excellent as a lot of JDEList members have recorded the (old ubb) post number of posts they use relatively frequently or are a useful reference.
3) In the posts in JDEList, there are a lot of posts that contain links to other JDEList posts. The older (ubb) links no longer work. The (ubb) link contains the old (ubb) post number which could be used if there was a old (ubb) to new (vb4) cross reference to look up. Another option may be to update the links that point to other (old ubb) JDEList posts.
If some or all of the above functionality is available, I have not been able to locate it. If it is, please provide details of how to access and use it. I have searched the FAQ (which seems to be the only help facility available) and have not been able to find anything of use. I have looked at the archive link at the bottom of each JDEList web page, but it does not seem to be of much use.
