How about, when a trader is using the trade matcher, there's a drop-down menu? Something that says... "View All Lists From: (the past 10 days, 30 days, 3 months, 1 year, whatever...)" Wouldn't something like that do the trick, without having to delete people's H/W lists?

I mean, these aren't discussion forums where some really old thread might still prove to be useful a few years down the line. If a H/W thread hasn't been updated or really even posted on for months, what's the chances of the guy having the same collection, and the chances that he even cares about the list?

Apparently not, since it already exists.

I've always thought that it should be set up to exclude posts 30+ days old unless a box is checked or something.

Even though the update date is listed there, it'd be a lot better if you could actually remove matches from your list based on that date, without having to do it yourself, mentally.

It's actually pretty annoying for those of us with fairly specific wants. I look at my trade matcher, and the first 2 pages are all lists that have been old and dusty for at least 6 months. I have to go 3 pages in before I find anyone that actually is active and has a trade match with me.

I just click on the updated date so it sorts that way...no muss no fuss.

This is all a really minor issue and I don't actually care all that much, but I'm just saying... sorting by date isn't perfect.
