Version 6.70 Beta 2 - Show Posts Special is broken

Postby Moondawgie » Tue Jan 12, 2016 5:39 pm

I really appreciate what you've done with this release of Newsbin Pro Version 6.70 Beta2 Build 4471.

However, the "Show posts special" function seems to be broken in that it is not providing the correct results as it did before my installation of 6.70B2 Build 4471.

This problem occurs with attempts to display messages posted between specific dates in in a single newsgroup, multiple newsgroups, and/or a Group of newsgroups.

For example, I want to view a display of all messages posted to the newsgroup alt.binaries.e-book.flood between the dates of June 20, 2014 and June 23, 2014. In order to do so, I perform the following steps:

  1. Right click a subscribed newsgroup (alt.binaries.e-book-flood).
  2. Left click 'Show Posts Special' to open 'File Display Date Range' window.
  3. Left click 'Use Calendar'.
  4. Left click the month and year (Presently 'January 2016') displayed at the top of the 'Oldest Date:' calendar.
  5. Left click the left arrow beside the year (2016) and select a previous year, month and date (2014-06-20).
  6. Left click the month and year (Presently 'January 2016') displayed at the top of the 'Newest Date:' calendar.
  7. Left click the left arrow beside the year (2016) and select a previous year, month and date (2014-06-23).
  8. Click the 'OK' button.
That results in the display of messages posted between the date of June 21, 2014 and the current date, instead of only the messages posted between the dates of June 21, 2014 and June 23, 2014.

The results are exactly the same after deleting all posts from, then downloading all headers for the sample newsgroup, and other newsgroups, and then performing the above steps again.

I hope that it's not just me experiencing this problem, and that it can be easily remedied.
