Ben Pirt	Saturday 10 January 2004 8:51:35 am I just upgraded to the latest 3.3 and found some strangeness with the datetime function. previously, datetime(custom,"%F %d, %Y") would output something like "January 04, 2004" as expected. But after upgrading i was getting "04, 2004" without the full month. After a bit of experimenting, I found that some of the formatting arguments would work without a % sign, but not with. So now I have to use datetime(custom,"F %d, %Y") because %F doesn't work, but %d and %Y do. Has anyone else found this, or is it just me? All the best, Ben Pirt
