Hi Nick,

thanks a lot for your help! That looks great, however I don't get it to work:

lightweight example agenda (shows also scheduled items which are >500 days old!):

("y1" "test" agenda "" ((org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled -30)))

What am I doing wrong?

I'm still on org-mode 8.2.7c, is this the problem?

Kind regards

Martin

[Not sure why, but quoting the OP's message did not work - I had to do
it by hand - I wonder if the problem is with the message or my setup:
if someone could verify, I'd appreciate it.]

C-h v org-agenda-todo-ignore-timestamp RET
C-h v org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled RET
C-h v org-agenda-todo-ignore-deadlines RET

This variable can also have an integer as a value. If positive (N),
todos with a timestamp N or more days in the future will be ignored. If
negative (-N), todos with a timestamp N or more days in the past will be
ignored. If 0, todos with a timestamp either today or in the future will
be ignored. For example, a value of -1 will exclude todos with a
timestamp in the past (yesterday or earlier), while a value of 7 will
exclude todos with a timestamp a week or more in the future.
