Re: Calendar dates missing
Marc:

Since you have not been on line for a while, I have been doing more testing. As I said, I live in the Eastern Time Zone (daylight time now), so the times I give you reflect Eastern Daylight Time. I have no idea if this is a GMT time issue, or one that occurs at the same local time zone hour (i.e., occurs at 11 PM Eastern Daylight Time, and also 23:00 UK time).

EVERY night, since the 23rd, when I log on about 11 PM EDT, the problem is there. It disappears about 12:05 AM or so the next day. Tonight, I looked at the sample browsers on your website. Your Special Effect (2), on weekdays, displays a white date on a brown background for 'Today', and I display a white date on a gray background for 'Today'.

When I ran into the problem with my calendar tonight, I went to Special Effects (2), and it has the SAME problem--The white date is shown by mistake on the next day (in this case the 28th), and disappears into the white background.

If you have a tool such as ColorPic (free at http://www.iconico.com/colorpic/) you can see colors at a pixel level. Almost all of your other sample calendars change the color or the text somewhat on the day AFTER 'Today'! These include your 2015 Calendar, your Dynamic Include, Custom Calendars, Merged Calendar, and Local Weather Forecasts. Unless you use something like ColorPic or look very closely [for all of above except Special Effects (2)], you would never notice the problem.

As I mentioned in the last post, I tried clearing all the browser caches, as you suggested, and it made no difference. Tonight I looked at your sample calendars on two browsers on a 3rd computer I have, which have NEVER opened a Localendar before. The problem exists there also.

So please spend some time and investigate what might be causing this. Test with my Localendar:
http://www.ottawapark.org/calendar-ottawa-park-toledo.html
and/or your Special Effects (2). You need to check shortly before and after midnight your local time, and also shortly before & after 4 AM GMT. And you need to investigate during the week, because many of your sample calendars use different colors for weekends, which can mask the problem.

It is very frustrating, and certainly limits the ability to use different colors for 'Today'.
