Make it so we can look up posts by the date---

As in, if I want to look up posts on April 20, 2016--- I could. I specifically remember a "Fuck Prince" thread that was active at the time of Prince's death. I never clicked on it but now that he's passed, I wondered what that was all about and was wondering if he saw it- although, now strangely it seems to have disappeared confused But could Ben make it so we can look up by the date and see all threads going at that date? I would like to look up what was happening around the end- what the org was talking about, what Prince might have seen us saying but it doesn't seem like that can be done without knowing exact name of the thread....

Put this into Google to see threads made on a certain day...

site:prince.org/msg/7 "thread started 04/20/16"

You can also put "site:prince.org/msg/7" and a custom date range into Google, but that doesn't necessarily turn up everything.

Also, at the upper right and lower left of the thread list in each forum, it says "Limit to threads from last 10 days". Change it to "beginning" or whatever range you want, then jump around the pages until you find the date you want. That can be tedious, though.
