2.3 - not possible to generate insights (no replies)

We are on piwik 2.3. I notice the following:

Movers and Shakers
It is not possible to generate insights for this date and period combination.
Insights Overview
It is not possible to generate insights for this date and period combination.

whenever I select a date range. When I use one of the defined ranges, such as day, week, month or year,
these two areas are filled. Even if I pick a date range that matches the month, still does not populate. I
have not found anything that give any information on this. Is it not supposed to on a user defined date range?

Thanks,
Douglas
