Introduction
-----------------------------------------------------------
Another day, another hack. This one may not be as big as my last,
but it has uses.

This hack will give you a new option when creating and editing
forums in the AdminCP - instead of selecting a default thread
viewing age of 30 days, you can choose to have "current calendar
month" as default.

By default, people will only be able to see threads that have
been started or replied to in the current calendar month.

Simple as that.

Shameless Plug
-----------------------------------------------------------
This hack was written for the fine people at xAviaHosting -
www.xaviahosting.com. Pay them a visit (Or I'm a dead man!)

Shameful Plea
-----------------------------------------------------------
I'm poor as always, I'd be seriously grateful for any donations..!
If you have a few spare pennies in that Paypal account, my address
is "John@eovie.com" - share the wealth! ;)

Heh, nice idea. I won't install it, no use for it, but still, nice work. :)

I was asking a little while back in the forum whether someone could actually come up with a way so that a user can specify the date to show threads from.

Could you adopt this?

Perfect. Could somebody make and addon, so I could use this as an Archive?

Browse by year 2002:
January, February and all the moths I have posts in. Get the idea? I browse all the posts by months, and only those, where I have posted.
