   I select 2 posts, I see the last 2 posts.

   I select 2 days, I see not the last two days, but what I posted on the last 2 days I posted.

   That seems odd.

   Uh oh, been a long time since I saw this thread ;-) As I remember we kept trying to figure out why "posts within the last X days" wasn't working until someone noticed it was last X days posted. The final thoughts leaned towards this is better anyway and it should be more clear in the reading options.

   It should be because I'd forgotten it - and I tested this in a 1.5.2 and svn

   I asked because as it stands, there is no way to display the last week of posts. So if I want to show just 3 Sept back to 27 August I can't without changing things around on a daily basis. So I can't have a 'rolling week' of posts.

   Yeah, this really bothered some. Since I don't post often I wondered what would happen if I hadn't posted in over a week and I had it set for last 7 days.

   This was back before "posts paged" was removed as an option - probably well over a year ago.

   More recently I think this very issue may have been the confusion here (and thus not resolved):

   Thanks for finding that Beel - I've added to it.

   If the "X days" were as you suggest, what should occur if there are no posts within that timeframe? Surely not a blank page or "Not Found". Just a thought.

   Good point .... as it is, I could go to a blog that had '7 days' and be reading posts made many months ago.
   Maybe some custom text ? Or in this case always have the last post showing as a measure to stop the blankness ?
