A comment/sugestion/question all rolled into one.

Love the site, in particular this forum, the wealth of knowledge to be had is great.

At work we have a a web page that displays new documents posted to our intranet, that page offers each user the ability to set the time period they would like to see and it remembers the settings (using cookies) For example I can set it to show me every document added to the page (newest first) from only the last 2 days, 7 days, 14 days or 30 days.

Currently on this forum a post from a month ago would be 'buried' way down the page list, if an answer is put on it today, only the people 'suscribed' to that post will see it.

The advantage of running a time enabled search system (in conjunction with the entire forum as it is) is that if someone answers or comments on a post from a month ago, and I have the time search facility enabled, then it will be placed back on 'my' list of current posts as being 'new' in whatever time period I have selected.

I am not a geek and have no idea how hard that would be to incorporate, but, can a similar ability be applied to this forum?
