There doesn't seem to be a way to access linear mode (to view yesterday's posts) when there are no posts yet for today. Can you fix that?

Being on the wrong side of the world I hit this a lot. I was going to ask Haken to fix it - but since I got him doing timezone stuff I didn't want to push my luck.
Thing to do is to bookmark a day's linear - e.g. today's is http://www.fireflyfans.net/linearthread.asp?d=8/22/2002
Now you can do one of two things - either change the date in the URL OR use the menu at the side (which will be the current week regardless of the date of the bookmark) to choose the day you want.
Since I first started doing this about a month ago I can still get to the same linear post for that day. I assume at some point Haken's going to archive off old posts so I tend to update my bookmark every week or so.

It's fixed. It'll now tell you that there are no messages for the day instead of rerouting back to the community page.
To see what it looks like, you can click on the following link:
