Yo fella SDers, anyone know how can I get YYMMDD for older posts that shows sth like "1 year ago"? Want to get an idea on the schedule of certain things go on sale.

Thanks in advance

If I want to show the history of an item, I type a description of the item in the search bar. Immediately a list pops up displaying all the times there has been a thread created for this item along with other similar items. This shows me approximately when an item might go on sale again. Another way to search would be to click on the three lines on the top right of your screen revealing;
  • Deal Alert
  • Post a Deal
  • Rewards
  • Your Screen Name (with a drop down arrow)
From here it reveals "My Profile"
Click on My Profile to view "All My Activity"
I'm sure there is a more direct answer, but this is all I have right now. I hope this helps some.

Thanks! I kinda did this already.

I was able to find the old post. Just want to figure out the "a year ago" is more like 13 month or 23 month, both are less than "2 years ago".

fwiw, I am looking at Costco sale so that's pretty "regular", just want to understand do I have to wait a year, a quarter or a few.

Thanks 😊

Cardboard was selling at $3/ton when Trump was president. Now it's up to $6/ton so I doubled my investment!! Should I sell my 3 tons or hold-off for more $$$?

You might consider posting your question in the site issues and suggestions forum.
Answers in the lounge can be of the YMMV sort, especially if you don't put "No OT" in the thread title (No Off-Topic Replies)

Can you give an example of where you're seeing this? A link would be helpful.
