I wanted to tweet a forum link to forum active topics since "Last Week". However, I noticed the URL is the same for any active topic search, it doesn't include the dropdown selection.
Any suggestions? Thank you.

| Post your code here. I don't "tweet", but I could fix the link issue. |

It's not code, I need a link that I can share that will display all topics in the last week. When I get the result, this is the URL it displays no matter what is in the Active Topics Since dropdown:
http://eastonmass.com/forum/active.asp |

| OK. Now I see what you want. It isn't possible to display all the topics with a single link. You will have to post each of them or be satisfied with the current link. Drop-down lists need coding - and Twitter won't have access to read your database by itself. |

A possibility would be to effect a small change into active.asp to allow it to receive the number of days from the query string and act from there. Actually it would be rather simple: get the value from the query string, save it to a cookie and let active.asp do its thing from the cookie value.
This would mean passing active.asp one the valid values for the cookie (LastVisit, LastFifteen, etc...). |

| Rui, would the "tweet" have the ability to display the drop-down menu? |

No, a tweet is just a 140 character text message that may include links. Links in tweets are not counted for the 140 character limit in full length, they add a fixed, limited amount of characters to the limit, regardless of the actual length.
However, links will include everything valid in a link, including query string parameters.
I guess a difficulty here would be obtaining the link directly. A button could be added to open the link in a page, the link being dependent on the value chosen in the dropdown. In any case, the first step would be to, at the very beginning of active.asp, read the query string and check if one the values normally stored in the dropdown related cookie, is present in the query string. If it is, just save it to the cookie and then let active.asp handle it from then on.
A direct link to the last week's topics could simply be written as http://(...)/active.asp?activesince=LastWeek |

This is what I was looking for. Twitter is just an example of how I would use it but the goal is to have a URL link that captures the active topics dropdown choice.
Is coding needed? Thanks! |

Programming it to recognize a request value is easy, you'll just have to decide which value to use when you post a link.
Just above the "Dim ModerateAllowed" line (appx 64), add this:
If Request("activesince")>"" Then ActiveSince = Request("activesince")
Your link would be: active.asp?activesince=value from list below
LastVisit
LastFifteen
LastThirty
LastFortyFive
LastHour
Last2Hours
Last6Hours
Last12Hours
LastDay
Last2Days
LastWeek
Last2Weeks
LastMonth
Last2Months
