Suggestions welcome!

So you tries this system out artfizz, but how are people going to find this thread,
won't it quickly get lost in the shuffle as well?

On the other hand this may work, I hadn't seen the thread you just posted before.

artfizz,

My link button doesn't work, but I will pick Crazychessplaya's "The most annoying
open thread", we may as well add that one since it started this idea.

Obviously the chess photographs thread. There are some real gems in there.

The idea was to identify only the threads created in a given month. The chess thread is one of the all-time greats, I agree.

Oh I thought it was about active threads. Well I don't know the date most of the threads are created.

If they've been contributed to in the current month, I think they should qualify (for now).

It is possible to list the posts in creation order, by using a trick: leave the forum search box empty - and click on search. A list of all the posts ever written are now displayed, 10 to a page. They can be sorted by Most recent or # of posts. However, most recent in relation to this full list means: most recently created- not most recently updated.
