Subject: | NaN's in the date field of the mailing list archive |
Has anybody else noticed that the mailing list archives have a bug where the data is always displayed as "NaN-NaN-NaN (NaN:NaN)"? This is visible on the main index page [1] and on any individual message page (e.g., [2]), but not on the "Index by Dates" or "Index by Threads" pages for individual months (e.g., [3,4]). This can be inconvenient when you enter a thread via Google and attempt to derive some context for it. It's also bad marketing (blatant user-visible bugs on OCaml's flagship advocacy site). I don't know if this is coming from OCaml code or some Javascript, PHP, whatever... It's definitely on the server side, because the NaN strings appear in the HTML source.
