You're welcome. :)

Note that you can change the "&searchdate=30" portion of that l-o-n-g URL to "&searchdate=14" or "&searchdate=7" if you like.

Yeah - I changed it to 7 days - works very well!

I noticed the Windows 7 forum doesn't display on the Recent Threads list. Is that an oversight or do we think Windows 7 discussions aren't much interest? :D

While we're on the subject, below are a few of the modifiers that can be used with "search.php".

• The base URL for all of them is: http://discussions.virtualdr.com/search.php?
  
  
• The "#", "x", and the "x","y","z"'s in these examples represent a value that you need to supply.
