Re: [Semediawiki-user] [SIO ] Dates

[Yaron K. <ya...@gm...>]

Hi,

That's odd, to say the least... I haven't experienced or heard of that
happening before. My guess is that the number there is some sort of
numeric representation of the entire date, but beyond that I don't
know what it means, or why it's there.

I doubt that the use of "#list" is related to the problem, since it's
happening even without it.

What do you mean by "MW's date pages"?

My one suggestion is to upgrade your version of SIO to 0.6.1, the
latest version, and resave the pages - I don't know if that will fix
anything, but I guess it's worth a try.
