Technical whinging

Okay, so I just worked out that LJ's Archive and Calendar features use the original posting date of the entry, regardless of whether you then subsequently edit it to reorder things. I had my first post originally set up as a sticky post (dated 2020), and I was editing those WildStorm review posts in private mode for a few days before I made them public, so changed the dates from August 30th and 31st to today. But if you do that the Calendar widget continues to show the old dates, with live hyperlinks that go nowhere, which means that if I'm a pedantic nerd who wants everything aligned properly (I am, and I do), I have to delete and repost my entries. Which I did. What a faff. Honestly, what's the point of allowing you to edit the date of the entry if the archival features ignore it?

That annoys me too. :-/ Maybe try complaining to LJ about it? They might not know it does that?

It's the sort of thing that drives me nuts - but then again I seem to have the sort of nitpicky brain that if there's *one* bug in something I'll find it! So annoying.

Also, hi :D

Ugh, I know the feeling. And it sucks because it's not really necessary unless you want everything to be the same.

Hello! :D
