Have you tried using 0-3 days, or however many, in the date field? That one works for me... usually.

...usually

Heh. Though that leads to another issue -- that if there is only one way for a field to work, I wish that the help guide for that field would only have that one way listed, instead of listing all of the non-working methods. It's very confusing.

I'll attempt to test the bug!

Thank you!

It was already reported when I went to look, so I was advised to up the priority. Hopefully one of the coders will have a fix soon!

In the meantime, the work-around suggested by boneknit appears to work. (It's not, btw, intended to be the only way it would work -- it's a bug.)

Fingers crossed! And thanks again:)

Is X-Men First Class really that big? I haven't found many long fics from them. Maybe the search function isn't working for me, either. ._.

Not many long fics yet, but the fics are being churned out at a remarkable rate. Hence the desire for a way to weed out the short ones:)

Ah. Well, that's promising!
