Ah, that could have been it actually. I've never had a problem with the post marking between computers before. And since I rarely change my subscriptions, I never noticed it before.

Do you have problems, concerns, or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
Bitches is bright red fonted for me (Safari 2.01, Tiger) from post 5410 until the end of the page it's on. Not that it matters much, but still.
Is that better now?
Yes'm it is. Good show.
I'm having a problem with the Jump to the first post on this date function. It's slightly different than the one I documented here Topic!Cindy "Buffistas Building a Better Board ++" Aug 30, 2005 4:36:18 pm PDT and here Topic!Cindy "Buffistas Building a Better Board ++" Aug 30, 2005 4:39:47 pm PDT. This time, it's just the month field affected, rather than the day field. There's a month field there, with an arrow, but no months (numbers) are listed.
I'm seeing it in the above threads, which are all fairly recent.
I just had the same problem in Natter.
And in this very thread.
Huh.
Yesterday, this thread was fine. I double checked. Because I noticed the problem in Natter 39, which is the most recent thread, and because last time, the threads that were affected with a similar problem were both newish, I went backwards, from Natter (which is thread number 151), to Bitches (150), all the way to this thread (146). This thread and the closed Natter 38 (thread 147) were fine, so I stopped going backwards.
I searched all of the threads that weren't archived, checking post_id=3 and found that as far back as thread 132 the month is missing. Let's see if this HTML works...
Thread ID Missing Month? 132 Y 133 N 134 Y 135 N 136 Y 137 N 138 N 139 N 140 Y 141 N 142 N 143 Y 144 N 145 N 146 Y 147 N 148 Y 149 Y 150 Y 151 Y
Without seeing the code, it's hard to say what's going on; but, the available months in the select box seems to be dependent upon the months available within that particular thread. Perhaps there is something unique to these threads date-wise that's causing this error?
Ok, I think I found a correlation. Posts with missing months in the jump control have posts in October. I'm trying to find something I read a long while ago about a y2k-type issue in 2005... but maybe that's just my imagination. Anyway, here's some more data:
