Now I know and you know that we have a lot of threads out there, in each of the threads. You wanted to search up a thread, but you have to go through many, many pages to finally locate it. If you knew the range of time that it was probably in, you could find it easily. Here's how you do so:

Where it Should be Put:

There is PLENTY of space to the right of the list of threads. ANYWHERE in the top of the page, preferably at the top right, can be where this filter can be.

How it Works:

The filter bar will have two down arrows to search all threads in the forum by an X number, followed by days, weeks, or months. Minutes are active enough to stay in the first page of the forums. Once you have your number and span of time, click GO! and let the coding do the work. A new page will open up in place of the old one showing you all the threads in that forum that have last been replied to in that span of time. Didn't find what you were looking for? Try again.

Why it Should be Added:

Many users have trouble finding a thread in a forum that's buried behind other threads. Having this feature added will save or eliminate the trouble doing so.

Wouldn't that be the exact same thing as clicking onto the pages manually, except for less manually?

So basically this is an easier way besides flipping through pages after pages of threads?

The threads are already ordered by the last person posted.

Yeah, the threads are already in chronological order, I don't know what would be the point of this...
