A missive on the chatbox problems. After a check of the database table, it appears that the problem is with corrupted date formats. Some of the posts have day/month/year format and others month/day/year. This is a little weird. The dates are generated by the database when items are added. Therefore one would expect them to be in a consistent format. One possible solution is that the server has had a few problems and flipped locale a few times, resulting in the different date formats. I don’t have much idea though…

For now I’ve changed the sql ordering to a simpler method and it seems to be working. I shall keep an eye on it.
