Hi Kirby - thanks for responding.

Right - one template change, no db structure changes.

That's a good idea. If you already have an idea of how this should appear on the screen that you think is better than pulldown menus listing the months, days and years, let me know. Otherwise, I'll just create six pulldown menus - months, days and years for "earliestdate" and "latestdate".

I am not familiar with HTL. Is that a typo? It sounds like you are saying that the XML files are created from some other file(s)/utilities, and I have the choice of

1. using those or
2. changing the xml myself and reloading the database templates and phrases somehow from the xml, or
3. manually updating the template and adding phrases with mysql queries

If (1) is the best option I'd love to get a pointer to the files/tools needed. If (2) is best, I can probably figure out how to do it by studying the installation logic. (3) is easy but of course I have to do it (possibly with different keywords) every time I upgrade VBulletin.

Thanks again,
Bill
