Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I just had the same problem in Natter.

And in this very thread.

What is even happening?

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.

Your tag here.

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:

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

All but one of the working threads on that list are closed, but I just posted in thread #135 (Buffy and Angel 1), and sure enough, that broke the month box.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Hey! Quit breaking stuff!

It was an accident...

Uh huh.
