No worries. 🙂 If you lower the `topics per period in top page` number to something that is less than the amount of topics for today it will allow the default to show as ‘daily’:

If it is a higher number than the new topics for today it will flip to the next period that satisfies the `topics per period in top page` amount:

(I have only created one topic on my test site in the last day)

And I think `topics per period in top summary` also plays a role for anonymous users as well. 👍
