(...) Nope, it was always there (I just checked). BTW, are you sure you aren't seeing "21–40" now? There should be a ";" after the "–", otherwise it's grammatically incorrect HTML, and you'd probabaly see "20" followed by a splotch (...) (24 years ago, 16-Sep-00, to lugnet.admin.database)

Hi Guys, Thanks for the improvements! One issue I've had for awhile is how do I search for all sets in a given year? If I type in 1980 (as a year) for example, I get set 1980 (Elves) made in '91. Thanks, Mark (...) (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.admin.database)

Looks great! One bug and one suggestion: (1) The bug is that there is a missing range indicator at the top of a listing, e.g. go to (URL) and follow the quick link to trains.
