I know when you come to the forums you can click the New Posts graphic to see all the new posts since the last visit. Is there a way that I can do a search and say "give me all the posts since August 1"?

I use a program to read the RSS feed for the site. If I pull up one of the listings using that, the site will consider that a "visit" when I don't really want it too...

Kind of a hack, but this will work...

Go to our search page (http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/forums/search.php) and enter a asterisk in the second text box (author). Click on the "All Posts" drop down and select a date range. Select "Descending" as the sort order. Now click the search button at the bottom and you'll have the desired result.

I guess this is something we should look into making a bit easier to do ;)

This is a limitation of phpBB right now unfortunately... :?

Thanks for the tip! This will work for my needs.
