Can't believe I'm the only one noticing this behavior on v1.8. Is this a known problem? Should I post this somewhere else?

Thanks.

I've not had that problem with 3 different installations. http://demo.b2evolution.net/stable.php4/blogs/index.php?blog=2 shows a demo installation where the display is limited to 5 posts, so it appears that your issue is unique to your installation. Got a link where we can see this and *maybe* figure out what's the deal?

Using the "number of posts" settings works fine and that's what I'm using until I figure what's happening with the "days" setting. My blog posts number 50-100 a day and I'd like to have 2 days showing. Right now I just set it for 125 posts which is sort of in between.

Ah. I just set my blog to "days" (randomly picking 5) and it showed everything back to the beginning of time. As you've found, using "posts" does as one would expect. Having never used "days" before I don't know if I would expect "X days with posts" or "X days even if I didn't post", but surely I wouldn't expect everything back to when dinosaurs walked the earth.

BUG!!!

Ahah! Now how do we swat this nasty bug? Anyway, glad you found it. Nice to know it wasn't just me... :)

By the way, I should point out that "days" worked just fine in v0.9.2.

I don't know how you would swat it, but my method is to say "I hope Francois or blueyed make a release with a fix for this someday". Oh and a report in the bugs forum would be a good idea. Dunno if this one is known of or not. Can't hurt to have a look and then post eh?

Thanks for reporting it. I responded to your report to cleaify that it happens on all blog pages, not just blog 1.

Hopefully it will be fixed down the road.

in /inc/MODEL/items/_itemlist.class line 582, try replacing the function get_lastpostdate() with this one:

	function get_lastpostdate()
	{
		global $localtimenow, $postdata;

		// echo 'getting last post date';
		$LastPostList = & new ItemList( $this->blog, $this->show_statuses, '', '', '', $this->cat, $this->catsel,
																		 '', 'DESC', 'datestart', 1, '','', '', '', '', '', '', 'posts',
																		 $this->timestamp_min, $this->timestamp_max, '', '',
																		 $this->cache_name );

		if( $LastItem = $LastPostList->get_item() )
		{
			// echo 'we have a last item';
			$lastpostdate = $LastItem->issue_date;
		}
		else
		{
			// echo 'we have no last item';
			$lastpostdate = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', $localtimenow);
		}
		// echo $lastpostdate;
		return($lastpostdate);
	}
