-
Add a new filter option on channels called
Date
-
By default the date range will be
All
-
The user may however define a date range by clicking
Date
->Date Range
. -
If a custom date range is selected, it may be cleared by clicking
Date
=>All time
-
Date filtering could be used in conjunction with type filtering, allowing users to search a particular type of bost (e.g. Blog) within a defined time range.
Original issue
@aquariusNL suggested that we allow filtering of time on posts

The ability for users to navigate through channels older posts without having to scroll forever. Simplest version I can think up would be a dropdown where you could filter monthly. Complex itteration would be a full featured channel history tool, or granular controls.
Benefits of this:
- When users want to find older content, it is a couple of button clicks away. Encourages users to share older memories, or ideas and analyze their own previous views.
- It would not require hundreds of paginated requests to the server for an active user wanting to get back to posts from 2017.
