Display Age limitations
Posted: Wed Jul 06, 2011 12:58 pmThis Dislpay Age feature is pretty handy, but the last item in it is
09: August
It translates to 672-705 days old
What about older posts? I have freshly downloaded headers of posts 1063 days old, although Giganews is claiming 1065 days retention. Perhaps in some other groups.
Is the number of months fixed to 24 months? It would be nice if the range reached the whole retention.
3 years (2 years 10-11 months) is currently required instead of 2 years. May be needed more in the future.
If the number is fixed, then it could be doubled to 4 years, so that there is a whole year if there is a need to change the implementation (assuming the retention will continue to grow).
The list can be easily extended without wrapping it into multiple columns or scrolling - on my display screen (1920x1200) there is room for about 80 months instead of 24.
However, perhaps better to have Show All Files and Show Special at the top of the list or as separate buttons, not at the very end, if the list is very long.
