I'm all for the original suggestion.

Indeed. Same with the ubiquitously annoying collapsing threads. On the other hand, there are about 20 times as many journals now as there were five years ago, so.
But as someone who frequently bangs against the 2-week limit I'd welcome a way to go back further than that, even if it goes to a day-by-day view like your journal does when you try to go back more than 75 400 entries.

I will be the first to admit that I am not by any means a computer savvy user. I have no idea how to install...anything! I am just pointing out that if this suggestion were an option, it seems like a very natural evolution of the Livejournal experience.

[NODS] Yep, this (and all other methods of accessing past entries) should work consistently, regardless of the age of the post. For the issues of cacheing and server load, all that's needed is to make calls to older data a lower *priority* than calls to what's recent, and/or store them on the older slower storage, bypassing the cache of newer, frequently accessed stuff. I think most folks would rather have a consistent interface that just gets a bit sluggish when it has to dig into the past, rather than having to jump through crazy hoops and in some cases access *extra* old data trying to search for the one thing they're looking for, just 'cos it's slipped past some arbitrary age limit.
