Filters - still a few bugs

Posting in case anyone has any idea what to do.

Okay, I set up "default view" and "weekly" filters. When I pop open my flist, it defaults to "Default view."

HOWEVER!

When I hit "previous," the default switches back to "All Friends" when it goes to the skip=20 page. The way around this appears to be confirming the default by hitting the "view" button next to the filter as soon as my flist comes up. Okay, I can live with that.

What's proving weirder is this: Say I want to read everything all at once. So I go to the filter on the first page and click "all friends" "view." It doesn't go to all friends. It goes to the default view. BUT, if I then click "previous," I automatically go to "all friends" on the skip=20 page.

I'm so confused.

There are ways around it, of course; it seems that if I rename "default view" to "daily" and just remember to physically pick it every time I log in, I avoid the whole thing. However, that in itself is also a pain in the patoot.

Filter readers, how do you handle this? If it's possible to type in the filter name in the URL bar, is it possible to bookmark *that* version of the page?

I must say, I like the idea of naming a filter "foobar"!
