Ah yes, I'm working on a new version and noticed the same thing. What's happening is that it's loading the July archive and then looking for messages in the last 24 ior 48 hours. Since it's an archive, there aren't any and thus, you get nothing. If you delete the month and year reference from your bookmark, it should work fine. Alternately, just this link will work:http://www.audioasylum.com/scripts/tv.pl?forum=support
Without options, it'll use your last view type from the TV preference cookie.
The trick here is prioritizing what the user really wanted and which option should override selections that don't make sense. Obviously, if you click on a last option, it should use the current threads. I need to change the default call in the menus to get rid of the month/year to avoid ambiguity in a bookmark. However, those options make sense on the typical Date and Update sorts as one could be looking at an archive. This is complicated further if you are using the Last Visit view and then change the date in the bottom dialogue to look at an archive. Again, here you get nothing. However, based on the action, it's safe to assume that you really want an archive and it should default to a Date sort rather than last visit. Hopefully, I can resolve all of this reasonably and at the very least print an error message when the condition results in nothing.
