Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nathan Gray (n8gray) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Next/Previous Month links in archives Initial Comment: Mailman has really improved my life with its wonderful archive generation, but there's one oversight in the interface. There should be "Next Month" and "Previous Month" links in the thread/date view of the archives. It's pretty annoying to have to manually type the month name in the URL or go back to the list-info, then to the archive list, then to the month in question. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mark A. Mandel (mamandel) Date: 2006-06-19 16:47 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=915526 I second the motion. I'm not a sysadmin, I'm a researcher, and perforce a research administrator. At times I have been maintaining 6-8 lists for different but related groups, and searching back and forth through several of those lists for a discussion that took place something like a year ago is just maddening, simply because there's no way to jump to the next archive set (next or previous month). You have to go up several pages -- BACK won't do it, because the previous page was the previous post that you read. And then you've got a page full of these lines -- October 2003: [ Thread ] [ Subject ] [ Author ] [ Date ] [ Gzip'd Text 19 KB ] -- and if you happen to have been skipping around before zeroing in on the year or the quarter you want, there's no visual clue even to where you were. That's the kind of thing you ought to be able to keep in mind easily, but late in a tiring day it's just one more pain. Your alternative, of course, is to go into the address line and replace "2003-October" with "2003-November". This is probably a little more galling for me than for most list administrators because I have difficulty with long terms of typing and mousing, and prefer to do as much as I can with speech recognition.
